A Veil.
It’s all that protects our Kingdom from the Fae. Swaying in the wind, the sheer, magical barrier stands alone between us and the immortals who once laid waste to entire human cities.
For a generation my people have lived our lives in peace, without fear of the monsters of faerie. Without fear of the gods who once roamed beneath our stars, wearing holy masks to disguise their evil. We have been safe.
Until the Veil shatters.
Suddenly, I’m hunted by fae and humans alike. If captured by the fae, I’ll never escape. If caught by the humans, I’ll never survive.
I have no choice but to run, leave everything I know, and venture into corners of the Kingdom I’ve never seen. Faced with capture, I have to choose quickly: a life of imprisonment or a self-inflicted death.
Then he saves me.
Caelum is fae-marked like me. On the run for his life, he is able to fight back in ways I can only dream of. We’ll have to lean on one another to survive, to thrive in a world determined to break us.
But as our bond transforms from tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, the fae close in on the rebellion and evil lurks closer than I had ever imagined. By the time I learn the truth?
It may be too late.
