Seth never expected he would want to settle down with anyone - but that was before Aislinn. She is everything he'd ever dreamed of, and he wants to be with her forever. Forever takes on new meaning, though, when your girlfriend is an immortal faery queen.

Aislinn never expected to rule the very creatures who'd always terrified her - but that was before Keenan. He stole her mortality to make her a monarch, and now she faces challenges and enticements beyond any she'd ever imagined.

In Melissa Marr's third mesmerizing tale of Faerie, Seth and Aislinn struggle to stay true to themselves and each other in a milieu of shadowy rules and shifting allegiances, where old friends become new enemies and one wrong move could plunge the Earth into chaos.




As lush and enchanting as Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange, the third in series didn't disappoint. It was dark and eerie, romantic and seductive, and always bound in the wonderful magic of Faerie. Though Ashlin began to frustrate me and Seth yet again didn't capture my love, my adoration of Niall, Keenan, and Donia was more than enough to keep me invested. With an introduction to the High Court and its monarch Sorcha, Fragile Eternity expanded the world of the previous books and brought to life a vast new realm of Faerie. I can't wait to see where the next books take us, and how Marr will further expand on the terrifyingly beautiful Courts and the imminent promise of War.
