    Summary

    I brought a knife to a gun fight. They took the crown but it's alright.

     

    Elain has spent three years in Night Court trying to find the same belonging her sisters have found with little success. When she looks in the mirror, all she can see are pieces of the person she once was. She's looking for a way out.
    Lucien spends more time away in the mortal lands than he does in Night Court, unable to stand looking at Elain, the mate he didn't want and, in turn, is so terrified of him she shrinks in his presence. Keeping distance makes the bond bearable, though after three years, he's ready for her to reject it and let him move on.

    Enter Helion, High Lord of Day Court. Realizing Elain is looking for something more, Helion offers her an opportunity she can't pass up and a reason for Lucien to stick around for longer than a day. Helion has more up his sleeve than just a little matchmaking, and his actions have far reaching consequences for everyone in Pyrthian.

    Summary

    Seven years ago, persuaded by both her elder sister and a male she chose for herself, Elain Archeron rejected her Cauldron given mate. A male without home or Court, exiled by his own father. An outcast and a good male.

    Two years later, when Azriel abandons her in favor of his newly discovered mate, Elain decides it’s time for a change and some distance from her family as she begins to regret her decision. She retreats to the Day Court at the invitation of its High Lord, Helion Spellcleaver and finds solace in the sunshine.

    Now, after having made a home and life for herself as a courtier for the last five years, news reaches the Day Court that the High Lord of Autumn, Beron Vanserra, is dead. His eldest son has taken the throne and his wife is now free to be with the man she’s always loved- Helion.

    But the Lady of Autumn arrives in Day with more secrets than her past affair with the High Lord and Elain suddenly finds herself face-to-face with the mate she rejected all those years ago. Lucien Vanserra... the High Lord’s true son and Day’s heir...

    Summary

    When Lucien sees Elain hurrying through Velaris, his instinct to protect his mate has him following her from a distance. Elain clearly has a secret - discreetly wrapped packages handed off in dark alleys, handwritten notes slipped into dusty old books. But Lucien is unprepared to find the answer - that quiet, shy Elain is a writer. One with a taste for erotica.

    Elain is floundering in the Night Court, her only reprieve being her stories, written under a pseudonym and secretly published. She has lofty dreams for this new life, but she doesn't know how to pursue them. When she discovers the mate she resents reading her private words, she panics at the thought of him spilling her secrets.

    But when the two form a tentative truce, they find they have much in common, including an itch for adventure. They embark on a journey to promote Elain’s writing, to discover their places in a world that seems to overlook them. The road is often treacherous - filled with lies and secrets, political tension among Prythian’s courts, and above all a bond neither are sure they want. Will the forces working against them drive them apart? Or will they find the courage together to write their own stories and have their own happy ending?
