Hundreds of years ago, a fae with the power to wield all four elements—water, earth, air, and fire—erected barriers across the continents of Meridiem, dividing fae and monsters from humans. But the division has caused more harm than good. The humans endure a realm devoid of hope, while the fae thrive in a land of magic and abundance.

​

Tired of their bleak existence, the Mortal President plans to remove the barriers so that fae and humans can coexist and share the land’s wealth. But can humans stand against magic and monsters?

​

Twenty-year-old Alexa Briarly—a trained assassin and spy living in the human realm—is caught overhearing the plans to destroy the barriers. She is kidnapped and taken to the fae realm, where she discovers a truth that shatters everything she knew about herself. She is not human—but fae.

​

Due to her ties to the human world, the fae want her to stop the humans from destroying the barriers. If she doesn’t, thousands of lives could be lost—for the humans have no idea how terrifying the monsters of the fae realm are. Before she can begin her mission, though, she must learn to wield her magical powers, and her teacher, Colten, is nothing but cruel, relentless . . . and strikingly handsome. 

​

A magnetic pull draws them together—something passionate and enduring. Yet on her mission in the human realm, Alexa uncovers more secrets about herself and those around her.
