The Fae King's Curse (Between Dawn and Dusk #1)

by Jamie Schlosser

“Kirian, I have a confession to make.” Without looking up, she interrupts him. She takes a deep breath, as if what she’s about to say is difficult. Prolonging the suspense, she combs Gia’s hair away from her face, fixing the messy strands before continuing, “About ten years after the curse, we found the witches.” Shocked, Kirian jerks back. “What?” “They wanted Gia. They said they’d lift the curse if we gave them our daughter, but she was just a child. They wanted us to choose between the two of you, and I couldn’t. I couldn’t do it then, and I can’t do it now. Forgive me.” “Why didn’t you tell me about this?” he rasps. “Why did you continue to let me search for them when you already knew what they wanted?” “Your father and I hoped you could persuade them. Maybe you had something else to bargain with. After all this time, I thought Gia was safe, but they got to her anyway. Before she locked me up, she admitted she’d been working with them. I’m not trying to defend her—she’s at fault. But they saw an evil in her and took advantage of it. Don’t end her. I’ll do anything you ask.”

Im sorry WHAT?! ITS BEEN TWO THOUSAND FUCKING YEARS.
