When a war tears through the realm of the fae, Prince Corvyn (solthorn) is smuggled through a forbidden veil into the human world-the last surviving heir of the Thelorian Court. His mission: survive, stay hidden, and someday reclaim his throne. Dumped into a rain-slick alley with little more than a name and fading magic, Kaelen casts a desperate glamour to hide his pointed ears and glowing eyes. Wandering dazed into the first building he sees, he steps through the creaking wooden doors of a quiet, sun-dappled library.
There, behind the front desk and surrounded by the scent of paper and ink, is Isla Hart-a young librarian with a sharp tongue, quiet strength, and a secret fondness for fantasy books she doesn't quite believe in. When Kaelen demands work with the arrogant air of someone used to command, she laughs him off-until she sees the haunted flicker in his eyes and reluctantly agrees to let him help part-time.
As the two sort ancient tomes and whisper through dusty shelves, an uneasy bond grows. Kaelen, used to court politics and battlefields, is baffled by human life-and Islas patience and wit unravel him slowly. Isla, drawn to his strange speech and impossible knowledge, begins to suspect he's more than he seems.
But Kaelen's enemies are closing in. The glamour won't last forever. And when the veil begins to weaken, Isla must choose: cling to her ordinary world, or risk everything for a man who doesn't belong in it-and may not survive in hers.
