Overview

AIDEN:

Ever been to Faerie? Don't believe the hype. Zero out of ten, do not recommend.

Of course, I could be a little jaded.

It wasn’t easy being born into a magical world where being half human meant I wasn't one of them at all, but finding Eastbend was like coming home. The rag tag crew at the tavern has become my family and if I could just find the mate that Fate's been hiding, the one who will accept me completely for the half-elf I am, life would almost be perfect.

You know, except for the hunters hell bent on stealing our town.

I've been dreaming of finding my mate for years and I’ve scoured every inch of the dating pool, but at this point I'm pretty sure Fate is sleeping on the job. So when Prince Charming finally arrives and he's too good to be true, I think I have reason to be skeptical. And it looks like I was right, Fate’s gotta get in one more joke at my expense because my prince charming? It turns out he’s an actual prince. And I’ll be damned if he’s not asking me to go home to Faerie.

BASTIAN:

After a century of isolation, my clan is insisting I take my place on the throne. And while I have plenty of crazy ideas like opening the gates and welcoming others into our clan in hopes of finding our true mates again, it seems our dying clan isn’t quite ready for something so radical.

When my search for answers takes me out of Faerie and straight to my mate, I know I’m on the right track. Aiden and his people are proof that what I’ve set out to do is possible, but making it happen isn’t so easy.

Aiden is everything I could have wanted in a mate, but he’s endured much at the hands of those who share my world and I’m not confident my clan will welcome an outsider as the one to rule by my side. Especially when the queen has made it clear she'll never approve. The fate of my people depends on me making them see that the only path forward lies outside of the gates that once protected us, but can my future with Aiden survive the time it will take to convince them of the truth?
