A blood-lusty warrior bent on peace, Holt Duran is on a quest for the ultimate prize—the ninth treaty that would end the hostilities at his kingdom’s borders and cement his claim to the throne. Now, a fortune teller’s dire predictions prick his pride and steel his resolve to achieve his goal, no matter what the risk.

An Elven Princess of over eight hundred years, Ceres is in the prime of her life. She has waited centuries to find her Fated, though never thought to see him in Human form. As she hides her true power inside to save her dominating father, her passion takes on a life of its own when she encounters Holt beside an enchanted waterfall.

One look at the Elven beauty sealed Holt’s fate forever. Now he must save her from her own people for their love to have any hope of surviving. But the journey to freedom, and freedom itself, may be wrought with unforeseen dangers that could threaten their very lives in a world where magic is elemental, and love between Elves and Humans is strictly forbidden.

Ms. Gilfoy skillfully brings to life a magical world that seemed to spring up around me as I read her vivid descriptions depicting an Elven kingdom of mist and mystery. Holt and Ceres are beautifully written; their passion a tangible entity within the story. Magic lends credibility to their immediate and intense connection, making me root for their HEA from the start. My first venture into the works of Ms. Gilfoy will, decidedly, not be my last if this quality of storytelling awaits me in future books.
