The enchanted golden key recognizes her destined mate, but her heart says it has the wrong male. A year has passed since Zoe Lawson used her enchanted key to cross into the fae world of Ecromos to receive a cure for her cancer, knowing she would never be able to return home. After receiving that cure, rumors claimed she would spend the rest of her life with a fated mate, bringing new life to a dying species. The reality, however, was quite different. Zoe had no idea that, when she left the human world, she would be captured by a fae nobleman who traded human women for breeding and sexual slavery. In such a world with too few females, she wasn't the only human woman who'd been stolen for such purposes, and she knew she wouldn't be the last. That is, until she met Elianna. As a cancer patient herself, Zoe's new friend's magical cure swung the pendulum in her favor, making freedom a possibility none of the enslaved women could have imagined. When Zoe and her friend escape the lord who'd enslaved them, they seek freedom in another court, protected by Elianna's newly found mate and a family of fae males. Zoe's key tells her that her mate is searching for her. However, with Cailean by her side, she is not sure if the enchanted key has the right male. As Zoe plans to return and free the other human women, danger lurks from those searching for them, and her heart battles against her key. Will Zoe and her friends be able to find enough allies to help them free their friends from a court where they are being hunted? In the meantime, will Zoe listen to her key, the only thing that can lead her to her destined mate, or will she abandon it entirely out of love for another?
