Feeding from the fae is met with a death sentence.

Poppy loves her little life-brewing coffee and reading copious amounts of romantasy books while making magic spells, teas, and salves. Ever since moving from Etheriel to the human realm, she has found peace with her siblings in the Garden District. That is until her racing mind has her dragging a stranger from the street to help her with a little measuring experiment. Silly books.

Davyan has just taken power after challenging the former master of the city. His hold is tenuous at best, but he won't stop until his people are in line. The Collective is watching, after all. His focus is clear until she pulls him into her shop and her world. That's when everything changes.

Their connection is so strong they can't seem to stay away from each other. There is just one problem. He is a vampire, and she is fae. The Collective laws are clear. It is forbidden for him to feed from her. Can they ignore the pull to break the laws? Or will they allow the law to break them apart?

Through the haze of their desperation lies another threat that neither of them sees until it's too late.
