Neve. The stubbornly gorgeous fraternal twin to Nimue. Intelligent and forthright, a warrior, a survivor, and Nimue's willing protector. A fixer, a challenger, an inheritant of the once most powerful sorcerer's magic. A daughter, a sister, a lover and a fighter, Neve vows to eternally help any folk who may need it, even if they don't know it themselves.
But alas, an outcast in her own village, much like her twin, except Neve wasn't scratched and harmed by an evil being, and so, as a village phenomenon, she's avoided like a Fey disease. The only woman who knows the truth, refuses to tell her daughter until she's older, something Neve rolls her eyes to, proceeding to seek out her sister to vent too once more.
Her life takes a startling turn as the legend of the Weeping Man begins to buzz and spread like wildfire, Neve first lays her eyes on the damage he inflicts as an older gentleman stumbles through the village with a sky blue Moon Wing, dying in his arms. Her body tensing, her iris's swirl into an electric blue, bursting with colour as a vision plays in front of her, the dark silhouette of the Weeping Monk appears in front of her, and she knew, he needed help.
With her eyes becoming a darker shade of blue, Neve breathes deeply, blinking and coming back to the now dead Moon Wing and her mother and sister sitting around the dead fey. And from that moment, Neve felt a searing connection to the troubled man, almost as if her soul called out for him...
+Mainly based of the Tv Show, with small parts of the book+
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold.
Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back.
It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin.
