A novel by

 
 
Enter a new faery world written by the author of the internationally bestselling Wicked Lovely series.

“I loved The Wicked and The Dead! A sassy, ass-kicking heroine, a deliciously mysterious fae hero, and a wonderful mix of action and romance. Add that to Melissa's usual great world-building, and I'm already looking forward to book 2!"– Jeaniene Frost, NYT Bestselling Author

Half witch, half killer, wholly unprepared for a Faery Bargain...Geneviève Crowe makes her living beheading the dead in near-future New Orleans. But now, her magic’s gone sideways, and the only person strong enough to help her is the one man who could tempt her to think about picket fences: Eli Stonecroft, a faery bar-owner in New Orleans.

When human businessmen start turning up as
draugr, both the queen of the again-walkers and the wealthy son of one of the victims, hire Genevi��ve to figure it out. She works to keep her magic in check, Eli Stonecroft out of her bed, and the dead from crawling out of their graves.

Neither her heart nor her life are safe now that she’s juggling a faery, murder, and magic.

"Marr ensconces beloved genre tropes in refreshing worldbuilding, offering a sly, never self-serious take on faery bargains and the walking dead. The conclusion leaves many questions dangling but sets things up nicely for future installments. Readers will be hooked." --Publishers Weekly
