United by forbidden magic and the secrets they share in dreams, their bond becomes the one light in a world of shadows. But freedom brings new dangers.

Elysium was not unused to being the odd one out in his family. There were so many differences between him and his twin siblings that he could count the similarities on one hand (and that included shared parents). Knowing some of the challenges plaguing his family in both the light and dark realms, he is determined to find answers. When he meets someone equally as determined from the dark court, it almost feels as though he's met the missing part of himself.

Lord Sindri of the light Fae and Raerdel Sullivan were married after falling into reluctant love on her part. Now the dark court is demanding Raerdel meet the duties of being the next heir. This new responsibility threatens to tear Raerdel and Sindri apart, but could lead to war if she refuses. When a shadow threatens all that they have, they will have to work together. Raerdel must survive being tugged between dark and light magic, and resist the seductive lure of the dark magic when those she loves are in mortal danger.

This book was previously published. This version is an updated first POV version that will be released in audio format in Spring of 2026. Raerdel Sullivan had no family, no friends, and no one to miss her when a Queen of the light fae decided to kidnap her. Waking up in the faerie realm, she was soon thrust into a world that was not familiar. Meeting Lord Sindri and learning of the Queen's intention that she be his new wife were also a culture shock. Sindri had never contemplated anything more than a marriage of convenience and found himself enamored with the stubborn mortal girl.

Cillian is no stranger to the pull of dark magic as he is the son of both the Dark realm Princess and the Light realm Prince. What doesn't help is that he may have been further infused with dark magic as a child, during an abduction. The only person with insight into that, however, is not talking. When Cillian finds himself drawn to a human woman in the dream realm, he discovers his dark nature may be worsening her health in the waking realm. Despite trying to reverse this by no longer visiting her, he will find it's harder to give up their visits than he thought.

Melisande had never felt like she fit in. Being a light fae princess with dark fae inclinations was not necessarily something you advertised to your royal family. When an evil strikes and leaves her comatose, it allows some exploration into the dark magic she is drawn to. Upon waking, it will be time to decide whether she will live a lie or embrace her true self. Ambrose’s life goals were simple. Exist as a foster of the dark realm, ensure the royal family’s comfort and safety, and stay under the radar.

He’ll make her admit she wants him - or die trying.

"Il semble que la zizanie ait décidé de s'installer à Paname : des renégats sèment la pagaille en attendant l'élection d'un nouveau roi, les Allemands préparent un coup fourré et, clou du spectacle, un vampire âgé de plusieurs siècles disparaît comme par enchantement ! Tout cela pourrait être supportable si Lawrence, mon créateur, cessait de me faire des cachotteries et d'insister pour que j'habite le palais quelque temps, une solution qui, à mon goût, me rapproche un peu trop de Sytry, le prince des chenapans !"

En arrivant à Paname, les Allemands s'étaient rendu compte qu'une menace plus dangereuse qu'eux sévissait déjà. Alors, en accord avec leurs autorités, ils laissèrent ma famille, les Renoir, continuer leurs petites affaires.

Bon, je ne vais pas vous mentir plus longtemps, je déteste toutes les bestioles, qu'importe l'espèce animale.
