      Gold runs thicker than blood. . . Aurelia hardly remembers a time before she was trapped in Phillip’s golden cage, captured and forced to become a part of his court to await her twenty-fourth birthday. Phillip speaks of horrible plans for her, terrible things, but he can hardly hope for them to work out when the Enchanted Forest has a giant problem. Plagued by attacks from the giant beings, Phillip has one option. Hire the infamous Giant Killer, Jack, with his stolen gold. Jack didn’t earn his fame by being nice. Jaded by life and determined to take whatever he wants for himself, Jack steps into this new court with his eyes on the caged princess. Her attitude calls to something primal inside him. Her lips beg him for a kiss. It’s forbidden, and might very well result in him losing his head, but Jack has never been scared of dying. Magic appears to those who demand it. Two paths call out for vengeance and freedom. The worlds collide and send ripples throughout the kingdom. Will she have the strength to survive it, or will she succumb to the chaos her sister left behind? After all, some things are worth more than gold.

      Cinder had no idea what she was getting into when she fell into Oz, but the devilishly sexy Scarecrow was as unexpected as the glass shards in her feet. He's dangerous, that much she knows, but despite his penchant for villainy, Crow is nothing compared to what she's running from. Cinder is desperate to get away from the peril behind her, but prophesy breeds new violence. There is no escape. The threat to Oz grows around them and though Cinder is strong, she has her own ghosts to battle. She shouldn't be worried about the heat in Crow's eyes; she should be putting as much distance as possible between herself and the Enchanted Forest. If she's not careful, those ghosts will come back to haunt her. With Oz the epicenter of the merging worlds and new monsters being released, will Cinder be strong enough to survive the breaking? Will she walk away with her heart and soul intact? It's time for madness to come to Oz. . . --From item description.
