Shadow And Light (sample chapter until finished)

Beyond the mortal realm, there is a world no human has ever seen or ever lived to tell about. This is a world of magic, faeries with elemental powers, and ones that aren't elemental-healers, warriors, shapeshifters, telecons, and many more. Enter Alina Withers. Or now known as Alina Winters. She is known to be the only dark faery in the realm. Where faeries are meant to be helpful and used for protection, defence, and overall morally right things. She was made for one thing- decay and death. Or at least that's what she thinks. When an enormous army attacks their peaceful realm the faeries learn a dark truth. There are more faeries in the realm. More than could ever be comprehended. And not all of them want the same peace that Alina's realm claims to want. This particular attack is led by the most dangerous kingdom in the realm- the dark nation. They are all dark faeries just like Alina. When one attempts to attack her, not knowing she is like them, she learns that her deadly power isn't the only one she possesses. She discovers she has another power, quite contradictory to the one she grew up with. No faery has ever had two powers. The dark nation is ordered by their king to bring her back with them-albeit against her will. Once in the dark palace, she learns many jarring truths, including, but not limited to, the elusive king is her mate, the cheery and perfect world she was raised in isn't what everyone thinks it is, and she has a third power. She is a tribrid. The first known to faery kind. Now she must navigate having a mate, learning her new powers and what the world is really like, and doing it all while preparing to one day be queen.
