I was just a baby, abandoned, left for dead in the Night Woods. Then, a human family found me, welcoming me into their simple lives. They raised me as their own, though I have hidden the parts of me that make me...unique. You see, I'm not a human. I'm Fae. But now, my family can't protect me. I'm once again lost in these woods, broken, alone, on the verge of death. Until the dragon prince comes. His shining golden scales awaken my dying heart as he carries me to a world that will accept me for who I am. The dragon made one mistake when he saved me, though. He left me on the doorstep of the panther shifters, the worst people I've ever known. Did he know what my fate would be with these creatures? Was this his intention? A lifetime of slavery and torture... Either way, I will gain my freedom. Even if it means I go back into the Night Woods to fight for my life.

The man I thought I loved isn’t a man at all. He’s a dragon. For years, every month I have risked myself to meet the human boy, Reinor in the forbidden Night Woods. He was my hope, the only thing I lived for in this strange city. But he was never who I thought he was. Reinor is the dragon prince, heir to his father’s throne… the golden dragon. Now, I sit as his enemy, locked away in his dungeons, heartbroken and lost. Can I trust that he truly is the man I loved? Or was everything a lie from the very beginning? I don’t know if I dare find out.

Today is the day that I become the man I’ve hated my whole life. King. Just weeks ago, I thought I knew what I wanted. I wanted to run from this life, taking the girl I love with me to a better place, any place but here. Now, I am trapped in my new role, and Nera feels like a prisoner in my home. I need to make her see that her life doesn’t end here. She has so much more to discover about herself, and about what we could be together. Can a Fae and a Dragon Shifter find eternal happiness in this world? I’m determined to find out.

I’m finally in the kingdom of my people. But, the Fae kingdom is broken. The land has become wild, dark creatures living in the shadows and nobody to claim the throne of the Fae. Reinor has remained by my side since the beginning, and I’m finally realizing that I don’t ever want to part from him. But I might have to. The rightful heir to the throne of the Fae has found me, and he says I was meant to be here since the day I was born. I thought I was just a lost girl for so many years, never truly belonging. So, how do I now belong in two places at once? And how can I possibly choose the right one?

How can I accept my new role when it means giving up the man that I love? I finally know who I am, a lost princess, a source of mighty power, a ruler…At least, that’s who I was supposed to be. But, somewhere along the way, I became someone else. I became Nera, the lost Fae girl finding family in a city of shifters. Could I give everything up to return to the home I never appreciated until now, where the people I love most will live out their days? Or do I take on the role my parents left me? Destiny knows the life I must lead…so why don’t I?
