Two hundred years ago, a pact was forged between the human King Aldean and the magical inhabitants of Aeloria. The Sirens, the island's fierce protectors, wiped the memory of magic from human minds, securing Aeloria's seclusion and safety. Under the watchful eyes of King Baret and Queen Ive, the fae rulers, Aeloria thrived in serene harmony.
But now, the enchantment has weakened. A group of supernatural hunters - the Centrics - has breached the island's defenses, threatening to unravel the secrets of Aeloria. Elysia Ademar, the formidable Captain of the Sirens, is tasked with luring these hunters into a trap. Her mission is critical: eliminate the threat and restore the island's hidden peace.
As the hunters fall one by one into the Sirens' deadly snare, only one escapes-Ryton Kaye. Driven by a blend of fear and anger, Ryton must flee from Elysia's relentless pursuit and the wrath of his own king, who demands the capture of Aeloria's magical inhabitants. Elysia, whose magic failed to affect Ryton, is determined to hunt him down. Her pursuit is fueled by a fierce loyalty to her island and a burgeoning curiosity about this resilient intruder.
In a race against time, Elysia and Ryton are locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse. As secrets are revealed and ancient pacts are tested, the fate of Aeloria hangs in the balance. Will Elysia succeed in her mission, or will Ryton uncover the truths that could change everything?
Ryton Kaye narrowly escapes the woman who captured his comrades. His mission was to gather the magical Parallels for the king, but now he's running-for his life and from the feelings of anger and fear that Elysia's magic couldn't erase. For the Gods, what did the King need with the wicked creatures? How had he survived? Ryton must navigate this dangerous new reality, torn between duty, survival, and emotions he's never experienced before.
