When Faery escapes an arranged marriage by journeying to parallel worlds, a sinister bond with a mysterious prince forces her to question who she is before the secret within her destroys everything and everyone she has fought to protect.

Faery thought she was escaping her destiny, putting it on hold. She never imagined she was running straight toward it.

In a medieval world where the existence of other realms is almost commonplace, Faery, a noblewoman bound to an unwanted arranged marriage, longs for escape. When she meets Astrifer, a scientist from another realm, that dream becomes possible. Defying duty, Faery, her wary guard Gawain and Astrifer set out on a journey across worlds, joined by Leon, a modern-day judge quick to accept the impossible. But her path grows darker when Prince Lucius appears, drawn to her by a mysterious and unsettling bond. What begins as freedom turns dangerous, as hidden truths surface and Faery is forced to confront not only the fate she tried to outrun, but the possibility that her own identity holds the greatest secret of all.
