Monster, witch, filthy little half blood. She'd heard it all before. With parents from both the human and the magical worlds, Liluye belonged to neither. Rejected by her family, she learned to live a lie. By denying her Fae roots, she could live in relative peace in the Deandi Capital. But when her dearest friend was captured by Drochmarky soldiers, Liluye had no choice but to expose her secret. Law dictates that she should be banished from the capital, but the prince has other ideas. But war has been declared by the wicked king of Drochmark. The magical land of Tierian is all that keeps a full on battle at bay. Swept up in the midst of everything, Liluye must find a way to bring unity and cooperation between the lands of her parents. Only by working together can both nations be free of the growing shadow to the north. And only by making peace with her past can Liluye hope to find a future with the man who would claim her heart.
