She searches for a loophole to save her sister?and finds a forbidden love that could start a war.

Aina refuses to marry the man her sister loves, no matter what her old-fashioned fae grandmother?or centuries of magical tradition?demands.

Determined to free them both, she travels to Raven's Landing and petitions the elders for a way around the marriage law. Instead, she meets Nick, a charming stranger who offers her one unforgettable day away from obligations, expectations, and impossible choices.

Nick has slipped away from a royal summit to experience life as an ordinary man. Aina makes him wish the day never had to end?especially when revealing his identity could destroy everything growing between them.

Then a vindictive prince exposes the truth.

Nick is a vampire, and fae and vampires are forbidden from being together.

Aina has never been particularly interested in following rules. Neither has Nick. Not disapproving elders, meddling grandmothers, dangerous princes, or even fire frogs can convince them to surrender the love neither expected to find.

But some laws were created to prevent more than scandal.

By choosing each other, Aina and Nick may ignite a war that will reshape the fae realm forever.

Fae of Light and Shadow is the forbidden-love prequel to the Court of Crown and Compass, a completed no-spice fantasy-romance series filled with dangerous magic, royal secrets, swoony kisses, and four sisters destined to save their world.
