Enemies seek to destroy Elodia from within and time is running out to save it.

Prince Tybalt thought he found his answer with Freya, but thanks to his mother’s surprise revelation, everything is up in the air again. He’s once again suffering a broken heart, but this time he has the perfect distraction—a plot to take his throne.

When he and his cousin, Klarissa, start investigating the suspicious circumstances surrounding his mother’s decision with the help of their resident priest, they uncover a plot far darker and more dangerous than they originally suspected. Unfortunately, the best way to unravel the effects of the events at play requires someone who is no longer at the palace, and getting them back may mean directly defying the queen.

Meanwhile, Freya and Bash are working hard to bring down the magic hating cult member by member. They quickly discover that the influences of the cult reach further than they previously expected, and destroying the cult means facing their pasts. As they navigate their discoveries, they also must navigate their growing feelings for each other, which presents issues of its own. Every day brings new challenges and risks, and every time they think they have things figured out, a new, darker discovery is made.

Time is running out for everyone, and if a solution can’t be put into action by the next Fae moon, everything as they know it will change forever and Elodia will fall to darkness, never to rise again.

With the Fae gone and wiped out, Elodia's magic hangs in the balance, and only the right bond through marriage may be able to save it. 

Freya has the magical blood needed, but not the noble bloodline that would win the people's favor. Prince Tybalt will do anything to save his kingdom's magic, but how can his heart be in an arranged marriage if it already belongs to someone else? And Bastion wants nothing more than to forget the past so he can focus on protecting his charges from the magic-hating cult that wants to destroy everything. 

If only falling in love were as easy as being born with the right blood, and if only hearts weren't so easily broken.
