Once, we worshipped them as Gods. For four hundred years, the Veil lias protected humans from the Fae. Safe behind their walls, humanity has turned from the old religion of decadence and sin to worshipping the New Gods, who value purity and obedience above all. Then, we died on their swords. Groomed her whole life for marriage, Estrella dreams of something more. And when the Lord of Mistfell murders his wife to claim her as his own, she has a choice : accept his offer, or be sacrificed to the Veil.
But on the night of her sacrifice, the Veil shatters, unleashing the Fae - and branding Estrella with their mark. The Mist Guard will kill her to stop the Fae from taking her. And who knows what the Fae will do if they çatch her. Now, they'll claim what's theirs. Forced to flee with her brother, Estrella soon runs into another of the fae-marked : the broad and brooding Caelum. With her life on the line, he's a distraction she can little afford.
Yet, she can't stay away, not even with something greater on the line : her heart...
