ACOTAR meets OUTLANDER in an epic romantasy about a war between high fae courts.
A sweeping romantasy of forbidden love, enemies to lovers, Highland rebellion, and illegal magic featuring a young Highland woman defending her clan, and a fierce immortal protector in a kilt.
Five crowns. Two reluctant lovers. One throne between them.
Flora Domhnall will do anything to protect her Highland clan and keep them neutral in a war between immortals. But when she finds a dying warrior—one of the rebel king’s Riders—bleeding in her woods, every choice becomes treason. If the Raven Queen’s soldiers catch him, her clan will hang. If she turns him away, the rebels will demand revenge.
Chyr is a Rider of the Anvar’thaine—an immortal bound by oaths—but a mysterious wound is dragging him toward death, and the doorway back to his world is closing. To save both realms, he must rely on the mortal woman who has every reason to hate him and betray him.
Stalked by their enemies through the burning Highlands and haunted by Flora's awakening magic, Flora and Chyr must decide whether love is worth the ruin it promises.
Honor is everything—until it isn’t. Then you hunt for the one chance left.
