As the heir to the human-intolerant Fae Dark Court, Prince Akyran is expected to marry a woman of the Fae, or at least of the fairy brethren, and, as far as his people and family are concerned, that woman should be Ecaeris of the noble Reyneris family. Ecaeris and Akyran have been inseparable since childhood.
Ecaeris, a powerful necromancer mage, is Akyran's most trusted warrior, and his best friend. Although she longs for it to be otherwise, Akyran has never looked at her with desire.
When Akyran's folly is brought to light, Ecaeris' heart is broken. But she is not a simpering princess who takes being spurned for another on the chin. She's a warrior mage with a skeleton army, and she knows that the best cure for a broken heart is the battlefield.
Can Ecaeris forgive Akyran's folly and fight with him to save their world from a new and dangerous enemy?
