Community rating: 5/5 from 1 rating.
A second-chance fated-mates romance in a dying Faery.
Oxford student and self-imposed Fae exile Jesryn Hallows wants nothing more than a free weekend with her best friend at a Glastonbury Midsummer Festival. But when the Veil thins dangerously close to fracture, her carefully glamoured mortal disguise is not enough to hide her from the Raven goddess hunting her.
As Faery’s ancient ley lines begin to buckle, the gods demand she return and take up the mantle she doesn't want. Her refusal would mean the death of all magic in Faery and the permanent severing of two ancient worlds. But an unwanted crown and title aren't the only complications waiting for her at home. Going back to Faery also means facing Owyn Corey and the shambles he made of their ruined matebond, a betrayal that sent her running across the Veil in the middle of the night without so much as a goodbye.
Owyn Corey, Regent Prince of the Lake, has spent three years searching for the woman who left him without a word, spiraling into darkness, bitterness, and obsession. When fate and gods bring them back together, he is determined to stay bitter and unrepentant.
A crown soaked in the blood of an ancient wrong. One world dying because of it. Two hearts fated to save it, or destroy it forever.
