In this twisted Neverland, the fairies fled long ago. Tigerlily, heir to the kingdom, wears her crown like a curse — and she’s been running ever since. Now hiding as Aurelia, she’s pursued by enemies on all sides… including her fated mate, Calix, the assassin hired to kill her. Too bad he’s also a target himself.
The kingdom is tearing itself apart. La Crocodíl, a psychotic queenpin with watch faces embedded all over her skin, plots to seize the throne. Meanwhile, Ivo “Hook” Emerald, the ruthless Pirate Horde leader, and Peter Darlington IV are carving up what remains of a dying kingdom.
Beauty is a weapon, and emotion is a weakness in this ruthless royal game where your greatest enemy may be your only salvation. The romance is as dark as the blood that blackens the castle floors and taints the waters of Mermaid Cove, and love is the shot of sweet poison you hope to survive…on The First of Never.
