We worden gezien als de vijand, het uitschot! Waren we dat? Misschien. Wij zijn anders, dat is waar. We zijn de enige van onze soort die vlees eten, verkiezen hutten meer dan statige huizen en onze kleding is niet van zachte satijn maar van vachten en leder. Maar de grootste reden dat ze ons verachten is dat omdat we een ander godin eren dat de rest van onze soort. Ja wij zijn de wild elves. Ik ben Akaya. Akaya is een wilde elf met een prettig bestaan bij haar ouders en familie, ze trekken als nomades rond en leven van het plaatselijk voedsel. Maar als een groep hoog elfen hun nederzetting vernielen en Akaya bewustloos achter blijft lijken haar kansen verspeelt te zijn. Een hoog elf besluit om haar mee te nemen naar zijn stad, maar niets lijkt wat het is als ze ontdekt wie hij echt is! Gevangen maar ook gebonden aan de stad probeert ze een weg terug naar huis te vinden, maar wat heeft de godin voor haar in gedachten? Akaya zal moeten ontdekken wat haar destiny is en waarom de godin haar heeft uitgekozen.

"Who will we send after the little witch?" The room went silent as one of them stood up from her throne, pacing forward. Her skirts flowed over the marble floors as silently as a whisper. Every eye was drawn to her. "I will go after her and make her my slave." She revealed flawless white teeth in a playful smile. "It will be fun. Like a game." The other Gods relaxed, confident that Alice Cunningham didn't stand a chance. After all, no one could resist Aphrodite.

Boek 2 in de Fëawen Series. 'Ik wil niet dat wie dan ook ons stoort, begrepen?' zei hij streng tegen de elfen voor ons. 'Begrepen?' zei hij harder tegen de elf die eerder tegen hem sprak. De elf in uitrusting en de anderen keken nieuwsgierig naar mij maar knikte eerbiedig naar Maeron. Voordat ik het wist trok hij me mee door de zaal en raakte ik al snel de weg kwijt. Ik kon niet eens even de boel fatsoenlijk verkennen. 'Maeron! Ik wil het kasteel bekijken!' zei ik fel. 'Wat doe je?!' en ik wilde me los trekken. Nadat de Drie zich terugtrok, zijn de elfen weer terug naar huis gegaan. Het was één groot avontuur voor Lily en haar vrienden, alleen niet elk avontuur eindigt goed en dat heeft ze gemerkt. Door met Maeron mee te gaan laat ze haar oude leven achter om een nieuw leven te beginnen. Eentje die totaal anders is. Eentje waarin ze de vrouw is van de koning, oftewel, de koningin. De vraag alleen is, is ze daar wel klaar voor? En een andere niet al te onbelangrijke vraag is, vinden ze die heks nog? Boek 2 in de Fëawen Series. Poorten moet eerst gelezen worden voordat er met dit verhaal begonnen kan worden.
