A Fae's Tale Prequel: Before the Destiny

Two hundred years before Ella Briarsand is chosen to stand beside Prince Alaric, the Realm teeters on the brink of ruin. Princess Aubrey is bound by duty to choose a consort, her future planned and paraded before the court. But when she meets Mazale, a Vampyr forbidden from ever standing near the crown, an ancient and dangerous bond awakens. Their connection must remain secret, watched closely by the ever-present clergy. As enchantments twist memory and power slips into betrayal, Aubrey is forced to choose between the life demanded of her and the man she was never meant to love. Long before a queen could rise, one forbidden love nearly brought the crown to its knees.
