A fae must risk everything to save her realm from the darkness plaguing the land in this thrilling first novel in the Realms In Peril series. The plague on Kya’s Nation has taken her family, her home—and now it’s threatening to obliterate her entire realm. Since the Gods Marked her skin at birth, she always knew she’d be forced to participate in the Trial of the Gods when the time came. There, she will either be deemed Worthy and be gifted incredible powers with a Nation to protect, fail and potentially lose her life…or experience a fate worse than death. Ryker will do anything for his Nation, but when he finds his mate, the pull is too strong to ignore. When claiming his mate becomes at odds with the safety of his people, he must make a decision no fae should have to face and battle between the Gods' will and protecting his Nation from the plague.
