War. War never changes. Divide and separation claws at a species until one side claims everything. Ideals and morals become twisted until they are turned into something else completely. Blood flows as easily as water. No regret, no mercy. Four provinces were created for each of the species: Druid, Fae, Elfin... the last being divided between the wolves and children of the night. The land recreated was named Hiraeth. The Elvin have been engaged in a bloody civil war for centuries between Light and Dark. Each province is led by a royal bloodline. Power is a prize, while getting it is a sin. Arailia is princess of the Dark bloodline. Blessed with the rare gift of destruction and chaos, she is captured to be used as a pawn. Underneath corruption and wickedness, a new evil arises. One can only hope the bloodlines unite before they are destroyed completely. ____________________________________________ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED @2016

The elven kingdom of Tírnéth, weakened by civil war, is unable to ward off the threat posed by the mortal men of Carransii. For the first time in recorded history, foreign feet scale the Aghadh Mountains and tread elven land in pursuit of the most coveted thing in the world: The magic of the Misty Bog. Lying to the north of Tírnéth and governed by the Seelie Queen, it is a domain even elves are forbidden from entering. Even so, Princess Eimhir and her younger sisters make the journey to its border at the behest of her father, King Lorcán, in a desperate bid to preserve his legacy as the enemy closes in from the south. He entrusts his daughters to the care of his enigmatic Warden of the North, who holds her lonely vigil in the Grey Tower of the Wall of Devin. But in these days of war, Eimhir refuses to be passive. She will not be a damsel in distress awaiting the cold kiss of her enemy's blade. With her mind honed by the cutthroat politics of the royal court, she wields it like a weapon, but can she maintain her ruthlessness through the burgeoning feelings she holds for her protector?
