Bound

Eyla is Fai.
In her language 'Eyla' means 'Snow.'
She has been sheltered all her life. Protected within the sanctuary of the Summer Court.
On the night of her Awakening Ball, were a warrior is chosen to protect her until the last breath leaves her body, dark forces penetrate the castle walls.
The Winter Court. She once perceived as a beauty, now has become a threat. They are bitter, callous and unmerciful Fait, who have lost their souls, they do not hesitate to take prisoners and kill in the blink of an eye.
They have come for Eyla. She is the only Fai, who can fulfil the unwritten prophesy, to end the Summer Court.
Because she is summer Fait, she cannot survive the chill for long.
Her newly appointed guard Tamlin is her lifeline, he is bound to help her, he has to, she hates him, but who else can she trust.
As of now they are bound together, albeit, very unwillingly.
She has no idea of the danger that she is in and as soon as she escapes on horseback, with Tamlin and her sister, she flees from the only home that she has ever known, now everyone is her enemy, waiting to trick her, trap her and use her magic for things that she is only beginning to understand.
In a new world, that Eyla has now entered, she has nobody, she fears getting close to someone, in case she looses them, as she lost her parents.
But against her wishes, she may already be falling in love.
She is bound.
Eventually, snow will have to do what snow does best, snow will have to fall.
