In the Still Realms, four monarchs rule over all existence. But the Autumn Throne, empty too long, threatens this balance of power. Someone must be crowned. Seven women will vie to rule, but the competition will be merciless. Ivy is in the running despite herself. At 18, she spends her days hiding in her manor, behind her mask. She is a "To Die For": whoever glimpses her face succumbs to murderous or suicidal madness. Put forward by the Fey nobility, she finds herself deep in machinations far beyond her and must draw on her every resource to survive. Her path will take her farther than she ever could have imagined.
