Bookroo's summary

Thea, the Sylvan King's fearless warrior daughter, has never cared for gowns. But when dresses full of dark magic appear on her hearth each night, she finally tries one on and is carried to a forgotten realm of shadows. Its prince seems to know what happened to her long-lost mother, and as Thea resists his charms and hunts for the truth, shadows creep toward her home.

From the publisher

A warrior must embrace her own darkness--and a dangerous attraction to a mysterious shadow prince--to save her world in this captivating companion to The Forest King's Daughter. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black. Fearless Thea has never known life outside of war. As the favorite daughter of the Sylvan King, she's a relentless fighter who longs to lead the army, ignoring the pretty clothes and fanciful notions others enjoy. But when elaborate gowns full of dark magic begin appearing on her hearth each evening, she eventually gives in to temptation and tries one on--and is whisked away to a forgotten land of shadows. The prince of the shadow realm is a handsome host, and it's clear he knows something about the long-ago disappearance of Thea's mother. Thea does all she can to resist his charms and uncover the truth, but their dangerous attraction grows. Meanwhile, shadows are seeping into the living realm, and Thea may have to embrace her own darkness if she has any chance of saving her beloved sisters and home from an otherworldly threat. The New York Times bestselling author of the Frostblood Saga delivers a spellbinding series about the daughters of the powerful forest king, with simmering romance and plot twists that will leave readers desperate to enter the Thirstwood.
