The daughter of a traitor is nothing, if not unwelcome. For Astrid Vandeleur it's much worse. Born with the ability to influence emotions and thoughts - she's seen as a threat...and a prize.
The Kingdom of Aetheros has been run by eight noble families for centuries, each believed to be descendants of the Old Gods - Fae. When the magic starts to dwindle and fade, noble young women- along with young women from any background that might exhibit an inkling of magic, are rounded up and taken to a finishing school called the Northern Tower to make them ready for a Lottery - a process that allows them to take their place within a new family, marry, and eventually reproduce a child of magical quality. When Astrid draws the name of one of the crown princes of Aetheros, she's thrown into a world filled with court backstabbing, assassination attempts, and a man that wants nothing to do with her.
With a rebellion on the horizon and Astrid's unwillingness to forget about her family, only one thing is for certain - everything comes with a price, especially magic.

The Space Between Heartbeats¹ | Mikaelson Brothers
Previously called Immortal Huntress. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Astrid should have died a thousand years ago. Instead, she was sealed away. Her body frozen in magic, her blood bound by forces no one dared to challenge. Born a witch, raised among werewolves, and entangled with the Mikaelson family long before they became legends, Astrid vanished from the world before history could remember her. Until she wakes up. Thrown into the modern world she no longer recognises, Astrid must navigate a reality ruled by vampires, fractured alliances, and names that once meant family. The Mikaelsons are no longer mortal men with loyalties still intact. They are Originals, shaped by centuries of betrayal, violence, and power. And Astrid's return threatens everything they have built. Her blood awakens something unprecedented. Magic still answers her call. The wolf still claws beneath her skin. And vampirism, old, altered and dangerous, binds her to the very monsters who once loved her. As old bonds resurface and new desires form, Astrid becomes the centre of rivalries, obsession, and choices that echo across centuries. Enemies want her destroyed. Allies want her controlled. And the Mikaelsons are forced to confront the one truth they buried alongside her. She was never meant to wake up unchanged. In a world that has moved on without her, Astrid must decide whether she will reclaim what was taken from her... or become something powerful enough to survive what comes next. Major Smut Warning!!!
