A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows
Adara is a Starblessed human, raised from childhood to marry Gavriel, the crowned prince of a fae kingdom. The match is meant to secure an uneasy peace between fae and humans. Brought to the castle to prepare for the wedding, she is drawn instead to Gavriel's half-brother, Evren, the bastard prince the court keeps at its edges.
Wanting Evren feels like treason inside a palace built on appearances. Adara hides her nights, her doubts and her growing feelings, even as the wedding draws closer by the day.
When the kingdom comes under attack, Adara is pushed into decisions no one trained her for. The secrets she has been keeping start to surface. She must choose between the marriage that protects her people and the man she cannot stop wanting, and either choice will cost her something.
