Aelira hasn't seen another human in years.
She lives in a forest made of memories, surrounded by glowing butterflies that carry pieces of a boy named Caelum - the one who vanished into the dark after whispering:
"The darkness is taking me too. But I'll come back with the light."
Every night, a stranger dreams of her.
Same forest. Same butterflies. Same ache.
Until one word breaks through the fog of dreams - Caelum.
And suddenly, the dreamer starts to forget her own name.
Is this just a dream?
Or a message she was never supposed to remember?

Red's Wolves
Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy. He knew what she was and didn't cross himself before letting his hands touch hers longer than needed for helping her to her mount. And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son. Even a kingdom over, the whispers of the canny princess the people feared as fae reached royal ears. But they thought to use her to their advantage...to put fear in their own people's hearts and make them bend the knee. Now with the kingdom at war with the prince she would have married, Alera must save the people who feared her from an unspeakable fate brought to their door by the sullen prince wielding a dark unknown power. -------------------- Cover by Tina Glasneck ©2022 M.Dalto Published to Wattpad 06.01.2022 Completed 03/30/2023Concluida
