Don't go into the forest past sundown.
Everyone knows it, everyone fears the forest. Most won't even go near it with the sun up.
But what do you do when that no longer stands true. When the beasts begin to leave the forest, called out by something darker. Something even the Fae should be afraid of.
Elara, betrothed to the Fae prince, is desperate to know what makes her so special. To understand why Rune treats her gently, and with a care the Fae have never shown humans. There is so much she does not know about the Fae Kingdom and politics, so much more to this world that she does not belong in. But with the weeks trickling away, there is not much time to figure it out before the wedding.
If she can survive that long.

Moonlight and Stardust (SunSun)
He never believed in monsters until one bit him under the red moon. Briar Aerin Faerydae was a curious forest fairy who never believed in tales of vampires - creatures of shadow said to haunt the edges of the Fae woods. To him, they were bedtime stories meant to keep the reckless from wandering too far. But on the night of the Blood Moon, when feral beasts tore through the forest, Briar found himself face to face with the truth - and with Lucien Malakai Vayne, the elusive Prince of Darkness. A single bite forged a bond neither of them intended, a mark of life and death that tied their hearts - and fates - together. Now, trapped between two warring worlds, Briar must learn to live among the creatures he once thought were myths, while Lucien struggles against his growing instinct to protect the fairy whose blood sings to him. In a kingdom where alliances are fragile and magic runs deep, love might be the most dangerous bond of all. "If I lose you, I burn. If you lose me, you bleed. That is the curse of our bond."

The Communicator
She is the Communicator of the New Area. The Communicators do the one job other humans are too afraid to do, communicating and preventing violence between wolves and humans. "My name is Alara. I'm the new Communicator. This is my first day. I-" "I know what Communicators are all about," he interrupts. "I've met many over the years. You speak of understanding and cooperation while your guns are loading behind your backs." "That's not-" "Save your diplomatic bullshit for someone who hasn't heard it before." His voice remains calm, which somehow makes it more terrifying. "I want the human who killed one of our own." "We have laws-" "Your laws." The contempt is undisguised now. "Your laws that somehow always find humans innocent of crimes against wolves. Your laws that punish a wolf's defense of territory as aggression. Your laws that treat us as animals when it suits you and as criminals when it doesn't." This is the first book in the series, so please don't expect anything perfect just yet. It's a first draft and a work in progress :)
