Hibernia is a land divided. In the south, the sun-drenched human empire of Solaria thrives. In the north, the Fae realm of Eldora shivers under an eternal winter, shrouded in shadows and whispers of dark magic. The fragile peace between Solaria and Hibernia is threatened when Solarian border patrols discover gruesome killings with a distinctly Fae signature. Fear and suspicion ignite on both sides. Elian, against his brother ( the king's) wishes, insists on traveling to Hibernia as an ambassador, determined to avert war. He is accompanied by a faerie Lord named Rhys, who is tasked with keeping the human prince safe.
