A New York Times bestseller! A skeptic and a supernatural being make a crossroads deal to achieve their own ends only to get more than they bargained for in this irresistible elixir of romance and suspense (Kirkus Reviews) from the New York Times bestselling author of Spell Bound and So This Is Ever After.Seventeen-year-old Ellery is a non-believer in a region where people swear the supernatural is real. Sure, theyve been stuck in a five-year winter, but theres got to be a scientific explanation. If goddesses were real, they wouldnt abandon their charges like this, leaving farmers like Ellerys family to scrape by. Knox is a familiar from the Other World, a magical assistant sent to help humans who have made crossroads bargains. But its been years since he heard from his queen, and Knox is getting nervous about what he might find once he returns home. When the crossroads demons come to collect Knox, he panics and runs. A chance encounter down an alley finds Ellery coming to Knoxs rescue, successfully fending off his would-be abductors. Ellery cant quite believe what theyve seen. And they definitely dont believe the nonsense this unnervingly attractive guy spews about his paranormal origins. But Knox needs to make a deal with a human who can tether him to this realm, and Ellery needs to figure out how to stop this winter to help their family. Once their bargain is struck, theres no backing out, and the growing connection between the two might just change everything.
