Ink and Foxglove (The Chronicles of Whynne Book 1) by B. A. Lovejoy

It had been night onceā€¦ Long before I was born, a human queen ended the endless darkness and drove out the Unseelie, pushing those that remained back into the forest surrounding the Kingdom of Whynne. Ever since, there have been whispers from humans and Seelie alike that the beasts will return to reclaim the stolen throne. I heard the rumors, but they seemed so far away. As a human girl adopted by fae nobility after my motherā€™s untimely death, I felt safe behind the bars of the gilded cage gifted to me. That is, until Luka Kinsley returns; a man who I could just as easily go a lifetime without ever seeing again and a fae noble whose lineage is far from perfect. Luka cashes in a debt owed by my adoptive parents, dragging me into his employ. Thatā€™s when I became suspicious. There have always been rumors about Lukaā€™s parentage, that heā€™s part Unseelie, but heā€™s hiding a secret far greater than thatā€¦ One which could topple a kingdom.

A Word so Fitly Spoken: (The Severed Realms)

A Word so Fitly Spoken: (The Severed Realms) by T.A. Lawrence

One stunning bride. One wedding. One night with the king. One execution come morning. Rinse and repeat. When the fae king of Naenden returns home to his palace only to find that his human queen has committed treason by conspiring to assassinate him, he has the queen executed and decrees that once every mooncycle, heā€™ll marry a human woman from the kingdom, only to execute her the following morning. Unlessā€¦ Unless one woman offers herself as a sacrificial bride for the rest. Asha isnā€™t worried about being chosen, of course. The decree was quite clear about beauty being among the top criteria for being selected as one of the kingā€™s unfortunate brides. And Asha is no beauty, all thanks to the illegal magic that inhabits her body, leaving her scarred and missing an eye. The same magic that occasionally possesses her voice so it can amuse itself by telling a never-ending story with a string of horrible cliffhangers. The problem is, Asha might not be a beauty, but her sister Dinah is.
