For centuries, as summer gives way to fall, the elves of the enchanted forest emerge to claim a single woman—a mysterious tradition shrouded in whispers of magic and sacrifice.
Alanna has spent her life protecting her city, hardened by duty and resigned to a love that will never come. Taken from the safety of her world, she is thrust into the arms of Kaelyn, the brooding First Knight of the Elven army.
Kaelyn is a warrior burdened by secrets and an oath to save his people. He didn’t expect the fierce, beautiful captain to be the answer to his land’s desperate need—or to spark a passion he’s long since buried.
As ancient magic stirs and danger looms, Alanna must decide: will she resist the pull of this new world and the knight who claims her heart, or will she become the salvation the elves have been waiting for?
