Dryads are known for their soul-sucking habit, and have terrorized humans since the beginning of time. Every man has feared them, except Hunters of Magic, who seek their head for a bounty.

Nies is a young Dryad, who only wants one thing: to be human. She dares to leave her sanctity of the forest to venture out into the world and find the means of creating a child for herself. In order to achieve this goal, she must find a worthy human to surrogate this child.

When she encounters Jolette, a human with a bad reputation, Nies agrees to help her escape to Kazo City, a land who knows not of Jolette's name, if the human herself protected Nies until she found a bride.

Along the way, these two meet exotic creatures and make sketchy companions that accompany them on their journey to this sacred city. But Nies has a secret-her body is hungry for a soul. And Jolette's looks like the perfect meal.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
