Never rescue an injured barn owl…he might be a dark fae king in disguise… There's nothing worse than fighting with her stepmother, and Kate Winslow can't take it anymore. Ever since she moved into her college dorm, her stepmother rarely acknowledges she is part of the family. Kate would love to belong, to dote on her little half-brother, but she doesn't feel welcome. Everything changes when she rescues a beautiful injured barn owl during a storm and whispers a wish as she buries her face against his white and gold feathers.

As darkness closes in on her, she hears his silken promise. "You are mine now and forever, little one, I shall steal you away by twilight…" When Kate wakes, she learns she is the war prize of the Lord of the Labyrinth, a dark fae king. And she has but thirty nights to find her way out of the Labyrinth if she wishes to see her family again or else she belongs to her captor forever…
