Synopsis

These Hollow Vows is the first novel in Lexi Ryan's These Hollow Vows duology, a young-adult faerie fantasy completed by These Twisted Bonds.

Brie would do anything before making a deal with the Fae; death is a better option than their deceptions. But when her sister is taken by the sadistic king of the Unseelie court, there is nothing she will not do to get her back, including making a deal with the king himself to steal three magical relics from the rival Seelie court.

Gaining unfettered access to the Seelie court proves easier said than done. Brie's only choice is to pose as a potential bride for the Seelie prince, Ronan, a prince who is not quite as wicked as she once thought. Unwilling to let her heart distract her from the theft, she accepts help from a band of Unseelie misfits with their own secret agenda, and finds herself struggling to resist the seductive charm of their mysterious leader, Finn.

Caught between two dangerous courts, Brie must decide who to trust with her loyalty, and with her heart.
