HE WAS CAST OUT OF HIS VILLAGE FOR LOVING WRONG.THE ELF WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO LOVE HIM BACK.After being exiled from Durnath at fourteen, Dion Falsilyas finds unexpected refuge in the kingdom of Aerenthia- a land of living shadows and the Crown Prince who becomes his first true friend.Years later, Dion has carved out a place for himself within Aerenthia's glittering palace halls: charming nobles, drinking too much wine, and pretending his hopeless love for someone off limits will someday fade into something survivable.Then Elric arrives.Elegant. Sharp-tongued. Infuriatingly composed.As ambassador of Elveren, Elric Arux is everything Dion is not- noble where Dion is reckless, graceful where Dion is loud, guarded where Dion feels far too much.They were never supposed to understand one another.But beneath Aerenthia's starlit bridges, friendship slowly becomes something far more dangerous.Because loving Dion could cost Elric his family.And loving Elric might finally force Dion to let go of the one person he never thought he could.
