5.0

A unique and achingly beautiful tale that is at once full of sorrow and hope, longing and love, and the struggle to discover what it takes to break free from the constraints of one's past. 

Cian and Iona's story is a slower paced fantasy romance that breaks away from the typical fae and epic battle stories often offered in this genre. There is no chosen one, super powered main characters, or perfect hero/heroine; just flawed and beautiful beings who deserve someone who understands and accepts them.
