Description

Magic is dying, and only a twist of Fate may be able to save it.

Elodia's magic depends on the lineage of Fae blood present in the royal family, but with the Fae wiped out, that magic is dying. In a desperate attempt to save and restore magic, the royal family is forced to look outside the normal line of noble families to find someone with enough magical Fae blood to save the kingdom's magic.

Freya was never meant for the palace. She's a simple farming girl, but when the palace discovered she has the coveted golden blood of the Fae, her fate was all but sealed. The plan was that she would marry the cocky prince Tybalt when she turned twenty-one, but when the current king's health starts to fail, that wedding date gets bumped up a couple years.

Ty made the mistake of believing he could mold his own fate, only for his plans to be destroyed when the "perfect" bride was found. Even though he wants nothing more than to save his kingdom's magic and live up to his dying father's expectations, marrying the totally inappropriate and unprepared Freya isn't exactly how he imagined things going.

Now the two of them must prove to the rest of the kingdom that they're suitable to rule by going on a pre-ceremony tour, accompanied by Elodia's top assassin, Bastion. When attacks from a magic-hating cult derail their trip, all three must learn to trust and rely on each other, forming bonds they only previously dreamed of, bonds that will be very hard to break.
