Lorelei Everly is the human equivalent to a faerie; a beautiful girl hidden deep within the woods, isolated from the outside world of the chaos and unruly.

Phillip Edevane is an oblivious Prince Charming who is surrounded by people who only speak to him for their own benefit. He wishes for nothing more than an escape.

When their paths collide, will they create a safe haven for each other or will buried secrets within the palace walls destroy the peace they prayed for?
