She’s spent her entire life fighting to survive— But now the lost prince who ripped her from the life she worked so hard to build wants to give her the most dangerous thing of all: freedom. Fae mage Araya Starwind just wants to go home. Torn between the powerful human mage she left behind and the prince fate chose for her, she’s determined to return to the New Dominion and salvage the carefully constructed life she built to survive. But the prince who risked everything to save her won’t let her go so easily—and the strange connection they share is only growing harder to ignore. Book Two of the Eldergreen Trilogy —a slowburn dark fae romantasy with a morally black villain you’ll love to hate, a reluctant heroine, a brooding fae prince, and a fated mates bond neither of them asked for. Perfect for fans of ACOTAR , The Prison Healer , and From Blood and Ash .
