Description
A demi-fey gets abducted and taken to a spy school where she's trained to fight an evil fey king in this first book in the riveting contemporary romantasy Fey Academy for Spies trilogy that's Fourth Wing meets Arthurian legend.
Avalon Academy rules: spy on your enemies, resist temptation, and try not to die in the process.
Bookseller Nia has saved up for years for her dream vacation: drinking champagne on a beach with her favorite books. But her dream turns into a nightmare when she's kidnapped by a muscular, tattooed jerk of a fey named Raphael.
Yes, kidnapped.
It turns out Nia has a rare power that allows her to cross the magical barrier separating the human world from the feys', making her an invaluable asset in the fight against the evil fey king. So, whether Nia wants to or not, Raphael demands that she train at Avalon Academy, Camelot's elite school for spies whose agents are pivotal to the war effort. But Nia is in way over her head-asthmatic and out of shape. She'll be lucky to get out of there alive.
Still, there's no escape when Raphael is watching her every move. He's lethal, arrogant, and hot as hell. And with every dangerous mission they're sent on together, he becomes harder to resist. But romance is forbidden at the academy-a distracted spy is a dead spy. Touching him is playing with fire. Is she ready to get burned?

C.N. Crawford-not one person but two-are Wall Street Journal bestselling authors of fantasy romance and urban fantasy. When they are not looking after their two energetic sons, they take turns writing drafts and revising. Christine is from Lexington, Massachusetts, and has had a lifelong interest in New England folklore-with a particular fondness for creepy old cemeteries. Nick spent his childhood reading fantasy and science fiction during Vermont's long winters, which have rendered him impervious to the cold.
