Please return home soon.” The Fae part of my heritage demands that I need to get my estranged Fae father’s blessing. I haven’t seen him in years, and I don’t know where in Faerie he is, but if I don’t get his blessing, it will turn into a curse that will eventually poison my upcoming marriage.

The Seelie Court needs to elect a new king or queen. And to get that elusive blessing, the Seelie Court’s interim leader, High Chancellor Lord Chela, has made me his representative in the upcoming Trials to find their new ruler. The hopefuls’ task?

Yet, perhaps most dangerous of all, are those who lurk in the shadows, orchestrating a dark plan that will turn the New Republic and the Empire into their playthings.
