    About this ebook

    A mortal alchemist. A faerie king. A bond that transcends death.

    Betrayed by a trusted mentor, Sylvie Imanthiya hides on the fringes of society, caring for half-fae orphans and trading her alchemical creations on the black market. She lives for the one night each season when she can see her dearest friend—a man whose destiny is far above hers.

    King Taylan Ashkalabek knows better than to exchange halayda vows with a mortal. Even their friendship is a risk; love is an impossible dream. Then a brutal alchemical attack poisons his realm, unearthing a dark power within him—and leaving Sylvie with the ancient mark of Faerie's savior.

    Manifesting unpredictable abilities and aided by allies with their own secrets, Sylvie and Taylan journey into the wilds of Faerie to heal the damage and confront Casimir, an invincible star-fae determined to claim the realm as his own. But only their enemy knows Sylvie's true capabilities—and Taylan's weaknesses—and how to use them in his vicious schemes.

    Her fate is life. His fate is death. With Faerie in the balance, Sylvie and Taylan must stand together before reality as they know it is destroyed.

      "I received an advance reader copy of this book from the publisher. This is my fair and honest review."

      This book was fantastic! It kept me wondering and wanting to read the next chapter the entire way through. It has well rounded fascinating characters, and detail to make it as if I were actually there in the story seeing what was going on. I liked how the characters had to work against adversity and grow in order to succeed, they could not stay the way they were when you first meet them. Another thing I liked was that while there was romance, it didn't get in the way of the story, but rather contributed to it. I loved this book, and have already reread it twice. I can't wait to see what else this author writes.
    • 3/5
      This novel was centered around a highly creative world. I loved the fairie aspect and the different species with different powers. The plot was slow. The first third of the novel frustrated me because it felt as if the story went nowhere. And then it ruined my enthusiasm for the rest of the novel. My favorite characters were Zad and Taylen. While I lost interest, I have no doubt other fantasy readers will pour through this novel. It just wasn't for me.

      Well written grammatically.

      Reader Rated for ages 14 for mild violence and sexual innuendos.
