Orphaned and outcast, Nova leads a solitary life, but the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday brings a stranger to her doorstep.

The mysterious visitor, Callan, reveals that Nova is no mortal, but one of the mythical Fae folk, hidden among the humans since birth. With the glamour concealing her true form set to vanish within hours, Nova must place her trust in him as he escorts her to the world of the Fae.

While Nova adjusts to her new reality in which looks can be deceiving, her carefully constructed walls begin to crumble as her attraction to Callan blooms. When the truth of her identity is revealed, she must learn to rely on others as she uncovers the legacy of the blood flowing in her veins.

Callan’s task was simple: retrieve the female and deliver her to the Fae Realm of Aemoria. But after centuries of drifting through life, like a ship without a mooring, he finds himself drawn to her. His desire to protect Nova forces him to confront a past long-buried and decide how much he is willing to risk to keep her safe.

With Aemoria threatened by a gathering darkness, a shadow that has seeped into Nova’s dreams since her arrival, both must face their own demons to protect those they hold dear.

Painful pasts. Futures uncertain. Will their undeniable bond be their strength or their ruin?

“You are born of sun, moon, and shadow. Wherever your path leads . . . death will follow.”

An uneasy calm has settled over the Fae Realm of Aemoria. But as long as the Shadowbringer lives, it’s only a matter of time before the fragile peace is shattered once more.

Nova has thrown herself into the demands of her life in the Lunar Court. Though nightmares no longer haunt her sleep, she senses something stalking her from the shadows. When death comes for her, breaching the walls of the Silvergard Estate, Nova unleashes a magic found only in legend. In the aftermath, an unlikely ally reveals she alone may be the key to defeating the Shadowbringer once and for all.

By the time the bargain tethering him to the Winter Court draws to a close, Callan has nurtured a budding kinship with the folk of Nivali. Still, nothing will keep him from answering Nova’s call for aid. Torn between duty and devotion, he contends with a difficult choice: follow the path his uncle has laid for him or forge one of his own.

Reunited, Nova and Callan embark on an epic quest, braving deadly trials in search of a cursed blade. Thrust into new alliances and forced to question bonds once thought unbreakable, the couple clings to the strength and solace they find in one another.

As the darkness draws near in the battle for the fate of Aemoria, they must decide whether saving the Realm is worth the risk—to their lives and their love.
