Ophelia Monroe had no idea magic existed until a dying dragon bulldozed through her Texas school, and a haughty Fae prince stole her away to another realm. Suddenly an unprecedented bond makes her Queen of the Fae in Charassi, a magical realm she never could have imagined.
But when Vie, an evil Fae, usurps her crown, Ophelia is temporarily stranded on Earth with Prince Corrin and a dragon named Shadow on the River. When they return, Charassi is a realm transformed. The people live in fear and their allies are being targeted not only by Vie but by his and Corrin’s mother—the former queen, Emalda.
Retaking the throne won't be easy, especially with the dark power Emalda wields to Unmake soldiers—draining away their souls and leaving their bodies as puppets under her command.
To make herself even more powerful, Emalda steals the Bone Crown, an artifact that belongs to the rightful ruler of Charassi. With the crown, she's a nearly unbeatable foe. Ophelia and Corrin must get the artifact back and find a way to protect the palace and their people.
If they fail, all of the dragons and Fae of the realm will pay the ultimate price.
