FAE is the first installment in a gripping trilogy of Light versus Dark: FAE, by novelists Colet Abedi and Jasmine Abedi. Inspired by a mystery that remains unsolved more than 400 years later – the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island – and with compelling narrative urgency, the authors transport the reader into the world of the Fae, both Light and Dark, as the battle that has been destined for thousands of years is about to begin…

Manteo High School student Caroline Ellis just turned sixteen, setting in motion a series of events that have been fated for centuries. Little does she know that she is the rightful heir to the throne of the Light Fae, and it is believed that she is the one to unite the Light and the Dark through union with her soul mate: heir to throne of the Dark Fae, Devilyn Reilly.

Devilyn is the only one of the Fae who is both of the Light and of the Dark and must struggle to maintain that precarious balance and not to succumb to the power of the Dark within him. Understanding his mission – that he is the only one who can save Caroline from those who would destroy her; destroy all hope for unity amongst the Fae and the very future of humanity – he is reluctantly enrolled at Manteo High School, quickly becoming its star quarterback.

After a tumultuous relationship, Devilyn tells Caroline who she is. Who he is. He promises her that he will protect her at all costs, and this also means protecting her from him. They can and never will be together, for the prophecy also makes clear that the union that will bring peace amongst the Fae will also bring Caroline’s own destruction...

Told from the alternating perspectives of Caroline and Devilyn, FAE draws on mysteries, myths and legends to create a world, and a romance, dangerously poised between Light and Dark.
