Giselle Raynor isn't just a normal chick with a boring job— But that's not true. She usually has a boring job. But when the leaves start to change and autumn takes hold, she becomes a knight. Sure, a renaissance faire knight—but a knight just the same.

But every tournament is has a familiar routine—fight a few mock battles, win some sparring challenges, and then make out with a pretty tavern wench before stumbling home and falling into bed.

But this tournament is different.

This time, everything is going right.

When Giselle emerges from the final bout of the tournament as the Queen's Champion, a beautiful woman insists on buying her a drink at the tavern. They share rounds of mead and a passionate kiss—but the mysterious woman isn't just cosplaying as a fae princess.

She is one.

Stolen away to another realm, Giselle has been chosen to serve as the champion of a princess who is desperate to defend her claim to a throne that should never have been hers. An unbreakable spell binds her to the Autumn Court, and to the princess who kidnapped her.

Bound by fae magic, Giselle will be forced to adapt to a strange world full of deceit, political intrigue, and more than one murder—will her skills be enough to help her survive in this kingdom of eternal autumn? Or will she be trapped there forever?
