The Songbird and the Wolf

The Fae who's lost everything.
and the Soldier with nothing left to lose.

The Queen, freshly crowned in bloodshed and fear.
and the Stranger on the run from a world that wants him dead.

The Songbird at the head of a realm on the brink of war.
and the Wolf who'll stop at nothing to protect his new home.

When a broken man stumbles across the border, no one expects him to survive the night.

They believe he comes seeking to use them - as so many before him have.

But the stranger comes with a world of hate at his heels. Robbed of the one piece of control he ever had, and the few people he loved. He doesn't come seeking refuge nor riches.

But a dignified end.

A request the war-weary fae have no doubts will be quickly complied with.

Their Queen, newly crowned yet her reign has already been tarnished. A Queen who has already seen far too much bloodshed in a far too short life, is tired of it.

Instead she makes the newcomer a proposition.

A place among them.

An offer Quinn willingly accepts.

For the first time in longer than either of them can remember, they face a life of peace. Something neither of them had ever expected to live long enough to see. A novelty neither of them was prepared for.

And side by side they make their way into a new world and its challenges.

Two worlds that ought never to have collided, but in each other they find familiar scars, a chance to heal.

But it was never meant to last.

Their history haunts them every step of the way, and finally it catches up to them.

Elodie must fight for the peace she has spent so long fostering, but it already seems to be a losing battle. Quinn must prove himself deserving of all that he has been given, but he faces the threat he has spent so long running from.

A fight for their lives, their love. But it may already prove too late.

For there are some wounds even time can't heal.
