According to the Prophecy proclaimed many years ago, Princess Calista of the Summer Court is destined to change the Land of the Fae from the evil determined to destroy it. Her powers are phenomenal, and she secretly trains for battle with her handsome warrior friend, Merrick, who unbeknownst to her protects her heart as well, in hopes of keeping it for himself. At least, until the seductive Prince Ryder attends the Guardian Ceremony and instantly sends a fire burning through her veins and a connection so deep they both discover a love above anything imaginable.
No one knows how Calista is destined to change the kingdoms, but there is one that does. He not only craves Calista’s power, but her body as well, and his goal is to steal her power, make her his Dark Queen, and take over the Land of the Fae.
Will the evil succeed in claiming Calista’s soul? Or will the two men that fight for her heart save her from despair, and help her fulfill her destiny to become what she was meant to be.

“Ryder, I don’t know how
or why it’s happening so fast, but my heart does feel like it belongs to you.
When I saw you tonight, I felt it. The connection is there and I see it now,
but what if it isn’t real?” I pull away from him to walk closer to the crystal
blue water of the lake.
“Why wouldn’t it be real? It feels real to
me,” he says while making his way toward me. He’s coming closer to me and
all I want to do is run into his arms and feel his body surround mine. That’s
what my body is telling me, but how do I find out if that’s what my heart truly
feels?
Shrugging, I say, “I just think we might feel
this way because of the prophecy.” Wrapping me in his arms again, he tilts my
chin up so I have to look into his eyes. He’s worried and I can see the tension
around the lines of his mouth.
Shaking his head, he lets out an exasperated
breath.
“Why are you trying to fight this, Calista?
Whatever we feel is between me and you. No prophecy or any amount of magic is
going to change the way I feel in my heart.” Cupping my face in his hands, he
brings his face closer to mine so our foreheads lightly touch.
Breathing lightly in my face, he whispers
softly, “My heart tells me this is real, and if we can’t believe in our own
hearts, then what can we believe in?”
The smell of rain vastly approaches as we are lying on the
ground in a sea of flowers. They surround our bodies while the fresh Spring
wind caresses our skin with its soft, gentle touch. Combined as one, we stare
into each other’s eyes as we bask in the pleasure of our love and OUR land.The Land of the Fae has flourished bringing a new beginning and a new court, the Fall Court. Five years have passed since then along with the dreaded day that Meliantha, Summer Court Princess and one of the powerful Four, was betrayed and broken-hearted by the sexy and alluring Winter Prince, Kalen. Spurned by the man she loves, Meliantha has turned and fallen into the arms of the fierce and handsome warrior, Finn, who understands she can never love him, but wants more than anything to mend her broken heart.
The Winter Solstice Ball is approaching, meaning Meliantha will have to face the Winter Prince and make it out of there with her heart intact. But what does she do when Prince Kalen acts as if nothing ever happened and seems more in love with her than ever before?
The dark sorcerer has planned his twisted game of lies and deceit well, and has enjoyed making himself a player without anyone’s knowledge. The game is almost over and the players are exactly where they are needed to be. Will Meliantha figure out his twisted game and save all the players? Or will the dark sorcerer once again obtain the power of the Four and take everything away from her…..even her one true love?
The warmth of my magic
builds inside my body until it is ready to burst forth. It flows from my
fingers into Kalen’s chest and I can see the light of my magic being absorbed
into his body.
He reaches his hand up
and places it on my cheek. His voice sounds raspy and weak when he whispers,
“Thank you for saving me, Meliantha. Just know that I will always love you.”
His skin color is turning white and his eyes are beginning to cloud over. No!
This can’t be happening. I’m sending my power, but it looks like he’s getting
worse.
“Damn it, Kalen! You
stay with me, you understand? I am not going to let you die! Stay with
me…” I plead, screaming. I close my eyes to concentrate and I use every ounce
of energy I have to search into the deepest depths of my magic. My true power
is there and I can see it glowing bright and ready for the taking in my mind. I
have finally found what I need to save Kalen. I grasp that power with all my
heart because all that matters to me is healing Kalen no matter the
consequences. He has to live.
I pull the depths of my
magic from my body and as I do the strength I once had has diminished to where
there is nothing left. I give one final push to send that magic into Kalen’s
body and when it does, the room explodes with the brightest light I have ever
seen. My body is too weak to keep myself upright and I end up falling over
beside Kalen. The end is close to coming and there is nothing I can do to stop
it. I slowly turn my head to look at Kalen and he is frozen in place with his
eyes closed. Tears are pouring down my cheek as I look at the man I tried
desperately to save. I’m so sorry, my love. Please forgive me. I swallow hard
and it takes all the strength I have left to whisper my final words.
“I love you, Kalen
