Niles knows a lot about faeries. As a doctor who specializes in treating fae, he's become a leading expert in his field. But when a new patient crosses his path, a hybrid faerie named Ashton, even he begins to doubt his ability to help this patient.
Ashton doesn't know where he is or how long he's been away from home. All he knows is that he shouldn't trust this new human doctor who is trying to help him adjust to life without his wings. Convinced that there is no way to get back home without endangering his entire clan, Ashton has resigned himself to his current predicament and given up on a hopeful future.
As Niles tries to connect with this reserved and cautious faerie, and Ashton tries to rebuild his life from scratch, they both learn what it means to trust and move forward.

If any of those things are especially upsetting to you, please read a story that will bring you joy and comfort instead so that you can properly live, laugh, and love. As an extra note, this story is very slice-of-lifey and character/relationship-driven with a focus on hope and healing.
Note: All locations are fictional, just fyi.
Luna was an orphan all her life. She loved adventures and travelling, too curious for her own good. She will get nosy and enter a hostile kingdom, meeting a cold and handsome prince named Sleet. She will scam hot-headed fire demons in the heart of a volcano, catching the attention of the patriotic and violent cousin of the king, Flare. She will venture into the deadly desert, befriending a scary-looking but very funny Scorch. She will be a spy among an elite group of trained assassins, vexing the embodiment of the devil himself.
Five come together to make a difference. Together, they can bring about their kind's salvation...or damnation.
