Humans couldn't cross The Veil, yet one did. Locked away in a bloodline, a long-awaited power awakens. A great change is coming, and the realms will tremble when it unfolds.\n \n\n \nThere was a time when The Veil didn't exist, and humans and fae occupied their respective realms without quarrel. But that was long ago, in an age before a fallen god waged war against the realms, and The Veil went up at the hands of the fae.\n \n\n \nNow, an ancient prophecy is on the cusp of unfolding. And Auren Everton, a human with a talent for swordplay, surely didn't expect to have direct ties to it.\n \nAuren has always known she was destined for more, and fate seems to have given her an opportunity when she receives an invitation to compete in the king's competition for a place in his King's Guard. But the hand that the gods and the fates have dealt her is not what it seems. In a strange turn of events, she makes an enemy of the prince, finds herself on the run, and is brought face to face with the beings that history has taught her to fear.\n \n\n \nWhen a fae High Lord with a mysterious, dark power takes an interest in her, the prophecy begins to unravel. Unbeknownst to them, their fates are intertwined, and as romance takes hold, Auren's reality is shaken to its core. What she thought she knew of her realm, of the fae, of herself, is far from the truth. And what runs in her blood is crucial to the fate of every mortal.\n \n\n \nIn a realm of magic and betrayal, threats lurk around every corner, and there is more than one cunning fae vying for her. If she embraces her fate, she can right the wrongs and bring about a new and prosperous age. If she doesn't, she will doom them all.\n
