Unveiled. Bespelled. Falling in love. The Ceremony of the Veils is always full of sorrow and tradition and never fails to make Princess Glory’s heart bleed. She knows exactly what to expect when she travels to the mortal realm to bear witness as the Guardians of the Eastern Veil step into eternity. What follows, though, is nothing of tradition and everything of chaos. Mitaru was born to be a Guardian of the Veil, which is why he’s completely unprepared when his generation fails in their sacred duty. When he’s given a new mission—locate Princess Glory and protect her with his life—he’s determined not to fail again. Getting through the shield that surrounds the city where she was last seen is the easy part. When he discovers the entire city slumbers behind the shield, the real challenge begins, especially when he realizes the sleeping princess is his mate.
