In the war-torn realm of Eldergrove, where magic pulses through every stone and species-werewolves, witches, vampires, fairies, ghosts, and mermaids - coexist in fragile tension, a devastating feud between ruling powers has left the city in ruins. Rioters clash in the streets, and fear grips the residents, until the leaders strike a desperate truce: their eldest children, Lyra Veyne, a fierce witch of the Crescent Line, and Kael Draven, a gruff werewolf of the Howlthorne Pack, must marry to unite their fractured world. But peace comes at a steep price. Lyra harbors a secret love for Ever, a gentle fairy, a forbidden romance that could unravel everything if exposed. As the realm demands a lavish wedding at the Heartspire to seal the alliance, Lyra and Kael - bound by duty, not desire - face mounting distrust, hidden loyalties, and the chaos of a city on the brink. In a land where magic thrives and betrayal festers, their forced union sparks an uneasy dance of enemies-to-lovers, threatening to ignite a new war - or forge an unexpected bond that could save them all.
