Peace in the Elven island of Druna threatens to spill and crack when, in the dead of night, the Royal Palace of Olivaria is attacked by a foreign force. Despite Prince Alexis's best effort to prevent a crisis, and with the growing rumors spreading after that fateful night, the truth behind the attack must be revealed.
For the first time in centuries elves fear for their safety. And a hero must be sent to the human world to retrieve the kidnapped Princess Selene.

Enter Priam Lockwood; stubborn, rebellious and non-compliant. His enviable knack for landing himself in the most dangerous of situations grants him the title of Druna's Chosen hero.
Whether it's because of his hair -- white as light -- or that fate simply has a vendetta against him, he has a hard time figuring out. But at the age of sixteen he is handed a task for which he is definitely not fit.

A most unorthodox team, with Priam Lockwood as its leader -- so to speak, anyway -- is left to handle the situation. And as the quest unravels, the deeper they delve into the human world and its tangled messes, it becomes evident a kidnapped Princess is the least of their concerns.
For it doesn't take long for the real reason behind the kidnapping to reveal itself, turning out to be a grander scheme than what any of them signed up for.
A 21st century covert ops agent, Cybelline found herself transported to a medieval world of magic and war without a clue of how she got there.
Fine, she'll consider this as early, early retirement and try to have a quiet, peaceful life.
Maybe she would buy a farm and raise some ducks. She didn't plan to have royalty fall over her doorstep and demand marriage for "taking his innocence".
Granted, she tripped him first, but he deserved it.
If her idyllic life had been undisturbed, she could even ignore the war between humans, the Fae, and the Folk. If they had left her alone, perhaps she would have never discovered power so potent that it could destroy the world. Perhaps she would have never become the most feared person in the realm.
