In the impoverished outer town of a kingdom where fae outrank humans, Faythe, an orphan with a talent for swordplay, knows the importance of keeping her head down around the fae patrol. She and best friend Jakon long for a better life, and her desire to swing her sword in combat may bring the purpose and coin she's yearned for.

Con il calare delle tenebre, due destini si fondono. Ma solo uno di essi sorgerà dalle ceneri. Lontana dalla sua terra, Faythe è chiamata ad affrontare i segreti del suo passato. Oppressa dal peso di un futuro incerto, con il giovane Reylan al suo fianco, una tenue fiamma si accende nel suo cuore. Abbassare la guardia, però, potrebbe rivelarsi fatale per entrambi... o forgiare una forza inaspettata. Un temibile nemico minaccia la pace di Ungardia, e sembra sconvolgere il destino di Faythe. L'oscurità avanza, la storia si rimescola e i cacciatori stanno per diventare prede.

To reclaim her throne, Tauria leaves behind her safety to travel across courts. A marriage alliance with the prickly Prince of Olmstone could grant her the power to fight for her kingdom . . . or inspire a monarch's deadly vengeance that threatens all she holds dear. No amount of distance can make Nik forget his desires, but caught in a torturous conflict of heart against duty, he's at risk of losing both. Now is the time to choose. Claim the bond and accept the prophesy that kept him from her all this time . . . or set his aching heart-and hers-free once and for all.

While the kingdoms prepare to unite, Faythe is forced to remain hidden in plain sight. But suspicions quickly arise with the mysterious fae general from an ally court. Getting close to Reylan could unravel truths she longed for, but trust is hard to gain and even harder to hold. When lurking evil threatens the alliance that keeps them all safe, Faythe may find herself on the side where danger meets desire in a force that could break past the guard on her heart.

In a world abandoned by its celestial guardians and left to suffer a tyrant king's reign, all Astraea can recall are the fragmented memories of the past five years. She's determined to discover more about her past, even if that means leaving behind the only safety and security she has ever known by venturing out into a world where bloodthirsty vampires are rumoured to roam. Making her way in an unfamiliar world, she encounters the mysterious Nyte, who makes her an offer she cannot refuse. As Astraea accepts Nyte's help, she is drawn in by his darkness.

Far from the land she knows, Faythe is beckoned toward the secrets of her heritage. Through trials of her name and a challenge to her claim, does she have what it takes to rule? Faythe bears a future that haunts; Reylan harbors a past that lingers. At his side, what ignited in her heart is kindling, but letting her guard fall could break them . . . or make them stronger.

Shaken from the aftermath of the Libertatem, the newly found star-maiden Astraea is determined to keep her freedom, even at the cost of betraying her heart. But time is running out to recover her memories, and with it the hope to unveil her killer. Embarking on a journey to discover her past, Astraea's awakening power spins the hourglass on a history threatening to repeat itself. While Nyte tries to regain control of the vampires hungry for bloodshed, a sinister plan by his brother to overthrow him sparks a dangerous feud. But are they willing to wear the blood of their kin to see it through?

Awakening from a dark defeat, Faythe discovers a greater threat to the life she took back. Staggering truths will challenge her and reveal that some bonds were forged to defy. With the battle lost, the war has just begun, and as an enemy is captured, it soon becomes clear a storm can be tamed but never bottled.

In uno scontro tra corti, si verserà del sangue. Ma in uno scontro tra destini, il sangue sarà la chiave del potere. Obbligata al servizio del re, Faythe deve tenere sé stessa e i suoi amici al sicuro. Nel frattempo, la lealtà di Nik viene messa alla prova, mentre il principe combatte contro i metodi crudeli del proprio padre. Con i regni che si preparano a riunirsi, Faythe è costretta a nascondere la sua vera identità. Ma i sospetti crescono in fretta con l’arrivo del misterioso generale di una corte alleata.

In uno scontro tra armi, un corpo mortale può soccombere. Ma in uno scontro tra sogni, può esservi l’ascesa di un potente erede. Nel villaggio esterno di un regno in cui i Fae sovrastano gli umani, Faythe, un’orfana con un talento per la spada, sa quanto sia importante tenere la testa bassa di fronte alle pattuglie Fae. Lei e il suo migliore amico Jakon aspirano a una vita migliore, e il suo desiderio di fendere la spada in combattimento potrebbe offrirle uno scopo e il denaro che brama così tanto.
