An island without sunlight. A mirror that should never awaken. When a sea voyager breaks the rules and humans uncover the truth beneath the waves, destiny demands a sacrifice. Two souls. Two worlds. One fate written in the tides. Westwood Island has not seen the sun in centuries. Wrapped in eternal night and guarded by ancient laws, the sea voyagers survive between land and ocean, hiding from a world that once betrayed them. Magic keeps them alive. Silence keeps them safe. River Rue has always obeyed the rules. She heals, she listens, she waits. She believes loyalty will protect her people from extinction. Esmeralda was never meant to stay. Gifted, defiant, and dangerously curious, she crosses the Monochrome Borderline into the human world-carrying secrets that could either save their race or doom it forever. When a forbidden mirror awakens on the mainland, human greed turns its gaze toward the sea. Old oaths begin to fracture. Long-buried memories rise with the tide. As two worlds drift toward collision, River must choose between obedience and truth-between the life she was given and the destiny calling her from the depths. Some bonds are written in fate. Some curses demand a price. And when two souls are bound like a pair of moons, one must fall into darkness so the other may rise.

Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy. He knew what she was and didn't cross himself before letting his hands touch hers longer than needed for helping her to her mount. And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son. Even a kingdom over, the whispers of the canny princess the people feared as fae reached royal ears. But they thought to use her to their advantage...to put fear in their own people's hearts and make them bend the knee. Now with the kingdom at war with the prince she would have married, Alera must save the people who feared her from an unspeakable fate brought to their door by the sullen prince wielding a dark unknown power. -------------------- Cover by Tina Glasneck ©2022 M.Dalto Published to Wattpad 06.01.2022 Completed 03/30/2023
