Synopsis

From Book 2:

The enchanted golden key recognizes her mate, but her heart says it has the wrong male.

It’s been nearly a year since Zoe Lawson made the decision to use her enchanted key and cross through the portal into the fae world of Ekromos, receiving a cure for her cancer. Rumors said, after receiving that cure, she would spend the rest of her life with a fated mate, bearing children to help repopulate the dying race. Unfortunately, that wasn’t what happened.

What Zoe had not anticipated, on the night when she took that step to leave the human world, leaving her family and friends, was to be captured by a fae nobleman who was elbow deep in the trading of human women for sexual slavery and breeding. In a world without enough women, she wasn’t the only female who’d been stolen for such purposes and knew she wouldn’t be the last. Until she met Elianna.

A cancer patient herself, something about the way Zoe’s new friend was cured swung the pendulum in the favor of the human women, making the prospect of freedom a possibility none of the lord’s slaves ever envisioned.

Now, after gaining their freedom from the manor, it’s time for Zoe and her friend to return to the place they were enslaved and free the others. Oh, and they also need to find Zoe’s mate, since the key she’d been given upon her escape may have actually been meant for another.

With the aid of allies across the fae realm, will Zoe, Elianna, Blaze and their friends, be able to free the other human women from captivity, taking down the network of slave traders led by Lord Argall and the Court of Knowledge king? In the process, will Zoe ever get back her original key, the only thing that can lead her to her fated mate, or will she abandon her key altogether out of love for another?
