The moon hangs low over the twisted trees of the fae forest, casting silver streaks through the canopy. Beneath it, a human princess stumbles through the underbrush, her breath ragged. Behind her, the crunch of footsteps—measured, predatory—grows closer. Maven, king of the fae, emerges from the shadows, his silver eyes gleaming with cold fury as he corners her. But when she meets his gaze, a jolt of recognition stops him cold. This puny human girl… she is his mate. "Impossible," he breathes, the word laced with horror.
