In a world that not only knows of the existence of Fae but they also steal the magic from any Fae or mythical creature that passes into their realm. Long ago Fae and humans used to live side by side, but since the Great War they no longer coexist. However, in the years when their planets align for a select few women enter the Fae realm with only one agenda… to become pregnant with a magical baby and return to their world replenishing the next generation of ½ fae beings. 

Keira is next in line to become queen but when she is faced with heartache she decides to join her sister on the pilgrimage to the fae realm and return with magic to restore her realm and prove her worth as a formidable ruler. Keira has been warned to be wary of fae and most importantly, never cross paths with the high fae. However, she finds herself almost immediately the captor of a morally gray and dashingly handsome fae, Aldrin. Together they find themselves working towards common goals, but what they need to realize is that they both have been concealing their true agendas from one another. 

The MFC in this story is more than just someone who faces heartbreak repeatedly- she is also resilient and strives to do what is right. What sets this book apart from other romantasy novels that I have read is its focus on healthy family dynamics and the heroine’s strong sense of self-worth. When she’s not treated as she deserves, she recognizes this and takes action to get what she truly wants, by making her journey both empowering and refreshing. I cannot wait to see what the outcome for our two fated lovers in book two will be.
