Set in Budapest 20 years after the barrier between Earth and the Fae Otherworld fell, tension between faeries and humans is high in the first novel of this seven-book fantasy romance series, "Savage Lands" ($17, originally $19).

Brexley, a 19-year-old human whose life changes during one terrible night, is thrown into the most feared prison in eastern Europe. When sparks fly between her and the prison's warden, she can't resist the connection between them — but she has to survive the prison and its games first.
