In a world divided by war, peace is the greatest temptation-and the most dangerous risk. Laela, a defiant elf of the forest kingdom Baequinnanea, has spent her life fighting for her people's survival. Agile, cunning, and fiercely loyal, she knows the cost of war all too well. When she's chosen to represent her kingdom in a precarious peace treaty, she's thrust into an unfamiliar neutral city-and into the company of her sworn enemy. Thosar, the cold and calculating crown prince of the powerful elven empire Banniurdrenn, sees the treaty as a political game. To him, Laela is little more than a naive wildling, out of her depth and beneath his notice. But as the two are forced to work together in this fragile truce, their differences spark more than animosity. Amid shadowy betrayals and hidden agendas, Laela and Thosar must navigate a web of lies-and their growing connection. But with centuries of hatred between their people, can they truly build peace? Or will their fragile bond shatter under the weight of duty, loyalty, and the dark temptations of power? Two enemies. One chance for peace. And a choice that could change their world forever.

Emylin is a human. Her best friend, Damien, is not. He's the mysterious, handsome King of the Underworld. A social outcast, shunned by her peers, Emmy never felt like she belonged. She'd lose her mind if it wasn't for Damien. Damien is the ruthless, other-worldly ruler of the Dark Faerie Kingdom. Meeting as children, they have had an unlikely friendship that is kept secret from everyone in both worlds. Fearing an uprising after his father's untimely death, the newly crowned King Damien must find a Queen quickly before the next Blood Moon. He sets his eyes on Leah, Emmy's classmate and bully, as the ideal candidate. Emmy must now play matchmaker for her life-long best friend in order to save a secret, ancient kingdom mankind has never known existed. She also has to juggle Damien's crazy requests (like setting up his dates), Leah in her new life, work, her own college workload and the unraveling of a secret murderous plot that will endanger Damien and Emmy herself. No one ever said being friends with the King of the Underworld was easy.
