For 18 years, Malia Shaw has lived an Ordinary life at least that's what she believes.She wakes each morning in the mortal world,goes to school,worries about grades and fitting in, and tells herself the strange things she feels are just quirks of her imagination. The way emotions seem to ripple through her like living things the way plants lean towards her touch the way the air hums when shes overwhelmed as if the world itself is holding its breath.Malia has always been different too intense. to perceptive. too beautiful in away that makes people uneasy rather than envious with her wild waist llength red curls piercing green eyes and petite hour glass figure she draws attention without ever meaning to and has spent her life trying to shrink herself in a world that feels slightly wrong around her. what she doesnt know is that she was never ,eant to belong to the mortal world at all.Hiddem powerful magic and a mothers desperate love Malia is the last living heir of the eastern fae kingdom a realm once ruled by light ancient magic and balance. Her mother Elara is a fae queen in exile forced to flee across realms when war tore their world apart. Her father Caspain The fae king was slain by vampires during a brutal conflict 17 years ago that reshaped the supernatural realms forever. to keep malia alive elara did the unthinkable. She cloaked her daughters magic, severed her from her birth rigth, and raised her as a humanhoping that ignorance could protect her where power could not. but magic does not remained buried forever. On the morning og malias 18th birthday the magic woveninto her blood begins to stir.old spells weaken ancient wards crack across realms long seperated by blood and betrayal forces awaken some drawn by prophecy some by hunger and some by destiny older than memory itself in the fe realm two kingdoms stand in uneasy opposition The east once vibrant and powerful now fractured and leaderless after the fall of its royal line. and the west ruled by Theron Vallisan a king forged by war shadow and duty his reign is built on strength secrecy and survival the west remeembers the war it remembers the blood spilled by vampires the alliances shattered nd the royal child who disappeared without a trace what none of them expect is that she still lives as malias powers awaken wild raw and dangerously untamed she is thrust in aworld of fae courts. ancient laws lethal politics and creatures who see her as salvation a weapon or a threat each step closer pulls jer further from the life she once knew and closer to the destiny she was born to claim and somewhere between the shifting tides of fate a bond begins to form. a mate bond. that ties Malia to someone she has never met, someone whose power rivals her own, whose existence will challenge everything she believes about herself, love, and choice. Drawn together by magic older than the realms themselves, their connection will be tested by secrets, loyalty, war, and the question that haunts every ruler:Is destiny something you inheritor something you choose? As vampires stir once more, sensing the return of fae magic long thought lost, old enemies rise from the shadows. The war that killed a king was never truly over it was merely waiting. And Malia Shaw, the girl who thought she was human stands at the center of it all. A hidden princess. A dormant queen. A force capable of restoring balance… or destroying everything.
