After the death of the Dark Prince, the Unseelie realm has been plunged into chaos. The land is being torn apart by endless storms. Asha Trinity is destined to become the new queen even though that's the last thing she wants. Half dryad and half goblin, her quest is to somehow find a way to restore the balance.

With the old ruler now gone, a king must be chosen to sit by her side. The advisors to the throne are trying to force destiny to adhere to their ambitions. No one can rule fate, which they'll learn soon enough. Their meddling instigated the chaos and now magic is fading from their realm.

Dacrith, the only son of the Dark Prince, was exiled to the goblin dungeon for treason long ago. He managed to escape from the labyrinth and exacted his revenge on his father. Fate brings the half-dryad to him and she tells him her destiny, not realizing who he is. It is his birthright to sit on the throne beside her, but he will have to fight for what he wants in order to win her over.

As a dryad princess, Asha will be bound for life to the man she selects. Choosing the wrong person will cause the balance to shift even further, which will put the entire fae world in jeopardy. The storms are already beginning to spread to the Seelie realm and the borderlands that separate the two regions is weakening. If the balance isn't restored, fae magic will fade away and will soon be lost forever.
