In a realm where emotion is law, love is treason.
For three hundred years, the Twelve Fairy Courts have enforced the Severance Law: one emotion, one court, one fate. Cross-court bonds are forbidden. Emotional integration is punishable by death. And the penalty for feeling too much-or feeling wrong-is having your wings bound and your true name shattered.
But the system is breaking.
Kael Ashborne, High Warden of Anger, burns with rage he's spent seventeen years learning to control. Lira Veyl, Mistress of Serenity, has buried her emotions so deep she's forgotten how to feel. When their courts collide at a crumbling border, the attraction they've been denying for years becomes impossible to ignore-and the Watcher stirs.
Born from centuries of suppressed emotion and unrepaired harm, the Watcher feeds on denial, extremism, and the pressure of a law that was never meant to last. Now it's manifesting where it shouldn't be possible, and reality itself is cracking apart.
Across Aeloria, forbidden bonds are forming. Joy and Sorrow. Fear and Hope. Pride and Envy. Love and Guilt. Twelve courts. Twelve rulers. Twelve impossible romances that could either save the realm or destroy it completely.
Because integration doesn't guarantee victory. Repair is messier than conquest. And starving the Watcher requires something far more terrifying than war:
Emotional honesty.
The Twelve Hearts of Aeloria is a dark fairy epic where wings scar, magic bleeds, and love destabilizes nations. This is not a story about unity. It's a story about maintenance-the brutal, ongoing work of choosing vulnerability in a world built on denial.
