Natoria Damitri has spent most of her life being prepared for a crown she never asked to carry lightly.

As the future queen of Elowyndra, she is expected to protect the shifters, follow royal tradition, understand possible enemies, and eventually continue the kind of leadership her parents have practiced for years.

Witches belong on the enemy list.

At least, that is what she has always been told.

Not far from the secluded cabin Natoria shares with her closest friends, the Thaloria coven begins building a new home. Among them is Mirabel Hallow, a powerful spirit witch and the young woman expected to lead her people one day.

They should distrust each other instantly.

Instead, Natoria cannot stop thinking about her.

Dreams begin carrying pieces of Mirabel’s life. Feelings arrive before introductions do. The closer they get, the harder it becomes to accept the stories both communities inherited.

Then another force enters the conflict.

Suddenly, the question is no longer simply whether a shifter and witch can love each other.

It becomes whether two peoples with generations of hatred can stand together long enough to survive.

And as Natoria begins feeling something inside herself changing, an old prophecy moves closer to becoming real.
