Danger lurks. Ready yourself.

Rífíor wants The Eldrystone more than anything else in the realm. Determined to find out its location, he subjects Valeria to unimaginable suffering, a mental torture so vicious that she vows to bring him to ruin.

However, an unexpected twist forces them into an uneasy alliance, and they must become partners on a perilous journey to the veil, the gateway to the fae realm.

Queen Amira, Valeria's sister, is planning something terrible against the fae living in Castella, a deed that Valeria vehemently opposes. Desperate to avoid a crisis, Valeria sees reopening the veil as the only solution to save the fae and stop her sister from making a mistake she'll forever regret.

Pursued by the queen's guards, Valeria and Rífíor journey west accompanied by Jago, Esmeralda, and her Romani troop. There are many hazards on the road, more than just Valeria's and Rífíor's passionate connection.

Valeria seeks answers to Rífíor's secrets—the truth of his identity, the Eldrystone's origin, and the mysteries surrounding her mother. Yet, he remains as guarded as ever.

Getting answers and opening the veil becomes a race against time, with the fate of the fae hanging in the balance. Can Valeria and Rífíor overcome the lies and betrayals and save the fae from Amira's misguided anger? Or will their unbridled passion become everyone's doom?
