Take a seat by the fire, order a flagon of ale, and settle in as self-proclaimed Bard Extraordinaire Wigfrith Foreverbloom regales the patrons of the Stag & Hound with the tale of Escala Winter-a mischievous faerie princess banished for breaking the most sacred law of the fey.
Born with mortal blood that made her curious where her kind was cautious, Escala was never a typical pixie princess. In the starlit Court of Dreams, she has always been treated like a mistake-too human, too restless, too drawn to a world she was forbidden to touch.
When her impulsive attempt to understand human love shatters the balance between realms, the Court demands the ultimate price. Stripped of her wings, her title, and even her fey form, Escala is cast into the harsh mortal world of Valla and bound to a cryptic quest meant to repair the damage she has done.
But the greatest danger awaiting her isn't the ancient grudge she has awakened.
It's love.
Roedyn is a quiet, guarded scout, bound to a solitary life deep in the woods, when he and his business partner, Harper, meet a cold, scared Escala. Escorting her to the city was the right thing to do-just a task to see finished. But when he learns that her mistake threatens the end of everything, he swears an oath to help her... even knowing she is destined to walk out of his life forever.
She wasn't allowed to fall for him, and he wasn't supposed to let her matter.
Love was never part of the bargain.
Now it's forbidden-and heartbreak is inevitable.
Escala never meant to cause the end of everything, but can she stop it before it's too late?
Will either of them ever be the same if she can?
