What this book is about

Leslie, Aislinn's friend, gets a tattoo that unknowingly binds her to Irial, King of the Dark Court. The connection feeds the faeries and drains Leslie's will. Ink Exchange is the companion to Wicked Lovely—darker, with a more disturbing premise and a heroine who is genuinely a victim.
