Aurora "Rori" MacNair is a unicorn-souled spy with forbidden magic she's spent a lifetime suppressing and a madman's blood in her veins. She is Hunter Pearson's first experiment, his greatest failure, and the only person who can stop him from tearing two worlds apart.
Therron Mistwalker is the cursed elven prince who was never meant to rule, never meant to manifest a dragon, and absolutely never meant to fall in love with the woman his enemy created. He would burn every realm to the ground for her. And very nearly does.
Cian MacNair is a phoenix spy who has already died for this war and will die again before it's over. He's made his peace with ash and resurrection. What he hasn't made his peace with is leaving Nikala behind.
Nikala St. James was engineered to be the perfect weapon. Hunter's magnum opus. She’s his greatest betrayal. She is also a fae princess in denial, and the only person who sees the whole battlefield from both sides of the mirror.
Hunter Pearson spent decades pulling strings across courts of elves and fae, now he’s poisoning doorways between worlds with Rori's unique blood, and building a legacy from the wreckage of innocent lives. His endgame? A "rebirth" that will destroy billions. His blind spot? He never accounted for the four people who love each other more than they fear him.
As elven armies clash with fae forces on one world, and explosives are set to blow apart another, the countdown to catastrophe mercilessly ticks toward zero. Now, Rori, Therron, Cian, and Nikala must face their darkest moment alone—so they can end this, together.
A spy who must unleash the magic she was told would destroy her. A prince who must become the myth his people forgot. A phoenix who must choose between duty and the woman he loves. And a weapon who must become something she was never designed to be—human.
Destiny isn't written in the stars. It's forged in fire, friendship, and the kind of love that doesn't flinch.
