The King Beneath The Hill

Every Aos Sí knows the oldest rule:

Never love a mortal.

Mortals grow old.

The Aos Sí do not.

When Caelan, a human prince, enters their world while searching for his missing brother, he meets Maeve, an Aos Sí guardian assigned to return him home.

She initially sees him as nothing more than an inconvenience.

But Caelan refuses to fear her.

He talks to her as though she's simply another woman. He makes her laugh. He teaches her human things-music, dancing, birthdays, promises made without magic.

Slowly, Maeve begins experiencing emotions she has no words for.

Then Caelan discovers that his destiny is to become king.

And the Aos Sí have learned that his coronation will lead to a war between humans and their world.

Maeve has to choose between saving her people or saving the man she has finally learned to love.
