Seven Black Diamonds

Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author of the Wicked Lovely series, returns to the ethereal and bloodthirsty world of faery in this dramatic story of the precarious space between two worlds—and the people who must thrive there. Lilywhite Abernathy is a criminal—she's half human, half fae, and since the time before she was born her very blood has been illegal. A war has been raging between humans and faeries, and the Queen of Blood and Rage, ruler of the fae courts, wants to avenge the tragic death of her heir due to the actions of reckless humans. Lily's father has always shielded her from the truth, but when she's sent to the prestigious St. Columba's school, she's delivered straight into the arms of a fae Sleeper cell—the Black Diamonds. The Diamonds are planted in the human world as the sons and daughters of the most influential families, and tasked with destroying it from within. Against her will, Lilywhite's been chosen to join them . . . and even the romantic attention of the fae rock singer Creed Morrison isn't enough to keep Lily from wanting to run back to the familiar world she knows. Don’t miss the lush, gripping follow-up, One Blood Ruby! She was trained to survive the human criminal underworld. But can she survive the deadly politics of the fae? Secret Royalty: Lilywhite thinks she's just a criminal's daughter, hiding her fae blood. She has no idea she's the granddaughter of the most feared faery of all: the Queen of Blood and Rage. Fae Sleeper Cell: Forced to join the Black Diamonds, a secret group of fae assassins posing as elite humans, Lily must choose between two worlds... or be destroyed by both. Morally Grey Love Interest: Creed Morrison is a world-famous rock star, a deadly fae agent... and the one person who sees the real Lily. Trusting him could be her only salvation or her deadliest mistake. Found Family: The Black Diamonds are her sworn enemies, a team of dangerous half-fae operatives. But in a world where everyone wants to use her, they might be the only family she has left.
