All that glitters is not gold.

Faerhan, motherland of the Seelie.

Fayra, a paper-pusher at the New Orc police precinct, can no longer hide her feelings for Special Ops Tyke.

She tried, though.

And failed miserably.

Fay knows she shouldnt be talking to him, shouldnt be seeing him. And she knows she certainly shouldnt be sleeping with him.

Tyke. An orc… the wretch of society.

And yet, how could she not? Hes everything her heart longs for, the perfect key to lock out her grief—her most insidious secret.

Nevertheless, her mind is ruthless, its monster of sorrow raging from every crevice.

As she attempts to hide it under a blanket woven with social specism and mental struggles, shadows of war encroach over New Orc.

Despite the violence and secrecy, Fay and the rest of monsterkind continue to live their lives, fending ignorance, mostly in denial of a brutal past.

Unfortunately, one can only delay the inevitable, and the table is soon set with life-changing choices: accept or resist the fate that entangles them.

And so the gamble is on. While navigating through a society rife with prejudice, Fayra and Tyke have no idea about a more dangerous force lurking in the dark—a blood-lusting threat, not only winged but hatched by claws and fangs.

It wont back down from its prey… especially when it is not only cute, loving, and sensitive, but far more than meets the eye.
