Ariya is fae and on the run when her family is murdered by a dark force and Ariya flees to the mortal realm where she finds herself unsure of where to go, when trouble comes in the form of some lycans on the prowl. Then Jace Archane shows up and he saves Ariya. Ariya has never known anyone like Jace, and at first Jace cannot believe Ariya is from Aziza a land he thought was a myth. But Ariya is now Queen and has to go back but first she has to figure out what is after her.

Jace Archane is a six hundred year old Night Walker. Jace’s Uncle Julian is the head of the Night Walkers and their jobs are to watch over the Lycan, NightWalkers and Shifter Elves as well. Julian wants Jace to step up and take his place as leader but Jace is still running with his freedom and not sure he ready to give it up, at least until he meets Ariya.

Jace offers Ariya a place to stay, but now Ariya realizes that the dark force has followed her into this realm. Jace and his whole clan offer their help never knowing that they were meant to be in this battle. Ariya does not know what or who is calling up the Element as they know it now but they know they have to try and find out. The past and dark secrets start to be revealed during this battle along with doubts and insecurities between Ariya and Jace. Will Ariya’s and Jace’s love be strong enough to see them through?

Loaded with action this fabulous tale enthralls you from the beginning. Fascinating characters from Vampires to Shifter Elves are cleverly set up with a plot that is full of twists and turns. Jace and Ariya are perfect for each other, as their sexual chemistry fairly sizzled the pages. But it is the strong emotional bond that makes you cheer these two on. This is the first in the series and this reader is interested in where the author is going after this. An exceptional read.
