The Undoing of Lines
“Do not ever let anyone, especially a man, confine your spirit, darling girl. I’m to leave you with two of them, but they are good men. I know this world can be harsh, and the traditions and expectations that we live with can have such an impact on a lively soul, especially one born as a woman, just like you. These things can seem like both a burden and a cage.
Promise me, my littlest love, that you will always know your worth is boundless, and you can carve your own path in this world, no matter what.”
Well past marriageable age, half-Fae Princess Clara refuses to be traded into marriage, even if it means aiding the human kingdom of Danascis which suffers from a magic-induced drought. Determined to help in her own way, she journeys to the scorned Fae lands to plea with their king for reprieve.
Casimir, the powerful yet reluctant Fae king, strikes a deal with Clara, giving her the chance to learn about her Fae heritage and magic governed by the ley lines. After historical mysteries are uncovered, Clara finds herself destined to usurp a vicious, seemingly immortal dictator. Casimir takes responsibility for educating and training Clara in all things Fae, discovering that they are not so different after all. While facing unravelling secrets, tainted family legacies, and life-long friendships, Clara must carry the weight of making choices for the greater good – all while trying to shield her heart from the emotionally unavailable Casimir.
Not only will Danascis not be saved if she doesn’t succeed, but Casimir will not be freed from his own personal prison, and - for Gaia’s sake - she cares.
