Prologue
Taveon
Prince Taveon spottedBree Paine from across the throne room of the Light Fae realm. Something about Bree called out to him, and a strange electric energy passed through his gut. He felt pulled to her, inexplicably. Magic simmered in his veins, a deep dark magic that drew Taveon toward her. He felt himself move two steps closer, despite his urge to stay rooted to the spot. And he could not drag his gaze away from her deep blueeyes.
Bree was a curious creature. Once human, now turned Light Fae. And she was a shapeshifter, but one who had control over the beast that lived inside her. That wasrare.
“Her,” he said, pointing at Bree. ”She is the one Iwant.”
The sacrifice. The Light Fae’s gift to Taveon, the Prince of the Dark Fae, in order to prevent his realm from invading theirs. Princess Norah had killed his father, King Midas. If Taveon’s realm discovered what she had done, they would want to avenge theirKing.
But it was all a lie, one he strangely felt compelled to make, as if another voice was speaking through him. It made no sense, but there it was. Prince Taveon had no desire to destroy the Light Fae. His father had been a vicious, cruel King, and Taveon would not tell a single soul what had happened here this night. The Dark Fae would never have to know the truth about Midas’s death. And yet...Taveon wanted—no, heneeded—Bree Paine to return to his realm with him, and he would say whatever it took to make her come willingly by hisside.
The magic still burned hot in his veins. Whatever was driving Taveon toward this girl was far beyond anything he had ever felt in his very longlife.
“Norah, it’s okay. I’ll go,” Bree said as she gently took the future Queen of Otherworld’s hand inhers.
Once again, Prince Taveon was struck by her beauty. There was a light shining from within her, one that dimmed every other soul in the room. He blinked and glanced away, jaw clenched tight. Whatever drove him to speak those words was a strange magic he did not understand. And he did not trust it in theslightest.
He would need to be careful around Bree. He would need to protecthimself.
While he might not truly understand what was happening, he knew one thing with every fiber of his being. If he wasn’t careful, Bree Paine could rip his heart toshreds.
