About the book

Once, we’d worshipped them as Gods.
For nearly 400 years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.
Then, we died on their swords.
All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There’s no choice but to flee everything I’ve ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman.
Now, they’ll claim what’s theirs.
But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn’t dare to want and a distraction I can’t afford. I can’t seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line.
My heart.
Author’s Note: This book is intended for readers who are 18 and older. It contains mature language, graphic violence, and explicit content with darker elements. This is book one in a series and ends in a cliffhanger.

    Naja also am Anfang klingt ja alles ganz gut, aber den großen Plottwist hab ich schon lange vermutet und das Buch war irgendwie einfach teilweise langweilig.

    Kurzrezi

    Der Einstieg in die Geschichte fiehl mir leicht. Der Schreibstil war flüssig und die Protagonistin gut beschrieben. Das erste Drittel war für mich eher unspannend. Da fehlte mir das Besondere, der Anfang war ähnlich zu Geschichten, die ich zuvor gelesen hatte. Aber darauf folgte dann doch eine sehr spannende und tensionreiche Geschichte. Der Spice war gut und die Charaktere spannend. Am Ende eine coole Romantasy, die aber ausbaufähig ist.

    Couldn't stand caelum the second he was mentioned. Still don't like him. Hoping really hard to have my opinion changed so that I can enjoy the series as I find the setting really interesting. But gods be damned I went through a lot of emotions, especially at the end 😒

Bin ich die Einzige, die Caelum‘s Verhalten einfach unangebracht findet? 🙈 wie er sie auch ständig „Kleine“ nennt… nervt mich unglaublich 😂
