Noblesse Oblige

The gates to Arcadia, the original paradise, are closed. Only the world of humanity remains. Without any awareness of our true nature, humankind crushes us beneath its banal heel. Joy and laughter are gone; only the Dreaming remains. We are changelings, the forgotten ones, neither fully fae nor wholly mortal. The last of our kind on Earth, we have built ourselves an invisible kingdom. We are everywhere, yet you have never seen us. We hide, not behind some fragile Masquerade, but in plain sight with the power of our Glamour. We exist within a real world of make-believe where "imaginary" things can kill and" "pretend" monsters are real. Rules for playing the sidhe, the lords of changelings.

A princess arrives to a party on a distant planetoid only to discover that the event is an auction and she's the item on sale. Surrounded by scoundrels and without a friend in sight, she has no choice but to rescue herself. Her arsenal: vague memories from classes, a pile of gadgets for which she never read the user manual, and a ferret.

When Caroline Richmond is jilted by a wealthy bachelor, her father arranges a marriage with a Duke who happens to be the bachelor's own father.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had to hide who I am. What I am. They had me play the sheep. They had me blend in. They marked me and sealed my power. Now I have my freedom, because everyone who’s ever wanted me confined is dead. I could have changed it. I could have altered the course of fate. I could have saved the unseelie queen. I didn’t. Vlari has always known her place: as far away from court as the unseelie queen can send her. The youngest royal, born in an impoverished household, she endeavored to earn her keep as an assistant and stay out of trouble. Dark, striking, and with a hidden agenda, Drusk definitely qualifies as trouble, but he refuses to leave her alone, clashing with her at every corner. Then the world implodes around her. With friends and foe by her side, she can fade with rest of the unseelie kingdom, or protect a court that has never cared for her. Disclaimer: Wicked Court is the first volume in a duet.
