The Marked Prince (The Darkest Court)

In this fantasy romance, Sebastian, an estranged Seelie royal, arrives at the Summer Court on a rescue mission to find Prince Lyne's traitorous brother. The Court has changed drastically—the oppressed lower classes are drained of their magick, and political intrigue threatens the unstable regime. Sebastian's survival depends on Duine, a magickless Unseelie servant seeking freedom. As Duine helps Sebastian navigate Court life, Sebastian develops a dangerous affection for him. However, Duine harbors secrets as significant as the feelings between them, and it becomes clear the servant is not who he appears to be. Sebastian becomes determined to uncover how Duine came to be the whipping boy of one of the Summer Court's most powerful and corrupt faeries, even if it conflicts with those who can lead him to the missing Unseelie prince. When a powerful enemy emerges from the shadows, threatening both faerie Courts, Sebastian faces an impossible choice: complete his mission and earn his place among the Unseelie, or risk everything to ensure freedom for the man he loves.
