Nothing survives in the wastelands anymore only ash, silence, and fear of whatever walks through them.
When Mira, weakened and on the run, hides from a figure whose footsteps make the earth tremble, she expects death. Instead, she finds Lunos: a being of embers and scales, with eyes like burning crystals and a stillness more unsettling than any threat. He takes her with him, away from the ashes, into a life she never thought possible.
The stranger from the wasteland becomes a student at one of the land's most powerful academies. But between entrance trials, courtly ceremonies, and the king's growing demands, Mira quickly realizes: her gift is not ordinary and some will do anything to find out why.
A home she never had. A power she doesn't understand. And a secret that runs deeper than even others are willing to tell her.

Elfhaven (the Danu Cycle: Fiann Trilogy Book 2)

Dwendardian's forces are bombarding the castle, demanding Niamh's head for their leader.

There is very little difference between love, lust and obsession. But, there is more than looming threats to the safety of all realms; the king's sons are caught in their own games and aren't averse to getting someone killed. While Eamon reminds himself his feelings for Niamh go no further than a simple fey obsession, he is still involved in the tug of war for power among the king's children. Fey obsession is a dangerous thing... So, oaths are formed and relationships tested as Niamh and Eamon are forced to hide away with the hope the fey can draw the fomorians away from Elfhaven. There, their own relationship is tested as Niamh gives in to her attraction to him. ...and, Eamon's will not be the only oath broken. But, once the threat is passed and they are back among others, Eamon is cold, distant, and his oath is near broken.

As Niamh continues to learn more about her fey heritage, she will come to see that there are many layers to the fey psyche.
