When Elise sacrificed everything to break a curse for the man she loved, she had no idea he was actually a lost fae prince—and that he'd abandon her to wage war for his murdered family. Now, as rival forces clash for control of two kingdoms, Elise and Valen are forced back into each other's orbit during a desperate rescue mission, reigniting a passion neither can deny. But their reunion comes at a cost: a mysterious magical plague spreading across the land, secrets that could shatter them both, and a betrayal lurking within their own ranks. As the stakes climb higher and dark magic threatens to consume everything they've fought for, Elise and Valen must choose between their kingdoms—and each other.
