Summary
After one of the bloodiest battles in fae history with the Dearg Due (Vampire Fae) where a betrayal rocked the Light Court, Elora finds herself in a terrible position. To take the crown she was born to she must find a Consort to rule at her side. Tradition requires her to hold a tournament and allow Lords and Ladies from across the Isle to compete for her hand. Even if that means opening their doors to those of the opposing Court and coming face-to-face with family of the man who betrayed her brother.
Without knowing who she can trust or how she will ever make a decision Elora is torn between making the right choice for her Court and the enigmatic Lord she had vowed to hate. With prophecies, notes, and an unknown power at her fingertips she soon realises that someone saw her on the battlefield that day and knows the truth about what happened.
Siblings parted by centuries,
One that will break us,
Another that frees.
A coming together to signal the end,
One betrayed by a lover,
One betrayed by a friend.
Think: The Selection X ACOTAR
