Kaeya Alberich, a loyal Knight of Favonius, has spent years preparing to hunt and kill the wicked Faeries lurking beyond Mondstadt's borders. So when he discovers one entombed in crystal deep in Dragonspine, he doesn't hesitate.
He must kill it.
But his touch shatters the ice, awakening not just the Faerie, but something far worse: a Witch. Thrust into an ancient war of magical affinities and mythical talents, both of his most dangerous enemies bring a fate worse than death, but Kaeya has no choice but to bind himself to the very creature he was raised to despise.
As winter deepens and darkness looms, one truth becomes undoubtedly clear. Humans and Faeries were never meant to coexist. Let alone fall in love.
