Princess. Rebel. Heir to a realm forgotten by time. Nyrielle of the Fae has spent her life beneath the rule of a cruel king, her father. Trapped behind ancient barriers and bound by expectations she refuses to fulfill, she dreams of freedom and of a stranger whose eyes hold a promise she doesn’t yet understand. Elijah is a sworn Protector, tasked with defending the Earth realm from every threat that dares breach its borders. And no threat has ever loomed greater than the exiled Fae King. But when a mysterious woman begins haunting his dreams, a woman with wings that shimmer like sea glass and a voice that stirs something deep within, Elijah finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew. She's forbidden. He's bound by oath. But The Mother has a way of rewriting the rules and forging her strongest bonds in the unlikeliest of hearts.
