I might be a fae princess, but my story is no fairytale.

Being told that I’m not exactly human wasn’t easy to accept.Neither was spending the last year training for what was to come on my nineteenth birthday, but I did it anyway. Feeling certain I’m ready for my new life, I soon realize nothing could have prepared me for the reality of it.

Turns out I’m the first descendant in decades to be born from two royal fae lines, but being special isn’t always a good thing. All that training I did? Not so helpful when I find out a dark fae is looking to settle an old score—with me as his target.

Enter Ryland, an elusive guardian meant to help prepare me for the inevitable threats headed my way. The only problem? He’s impossible, and I can’t seem to stop butting heads with him. Even when other forces try to push us together.

Though, regardless of the obstacles, I have to accept the changes in my life and learn how to roll with the punches. Because if I don’t? Well, it could mean the end of the little utopia I’ve found in my new home.

But becoming the hero Arvayta needs me to be isn’t as easy as it sounds.
