Ronal knew he would not receive a warm welcome in the realm of the elves, and he got exactly what he had expected. Especially from the daughter of the Elf King. Caetria disliked him immensely. But Caet had a lot to learn. About vampires, and becoming the woman she was meant to be. To her horror, the king ordered her to be Ronal's guide and companion while he remained within their realm. He couldn't possibly mean...At first sight of the princess, the dark, seductive vampire immediately envisioned the passion they could share...if she didn't loathe him so thoroughly. But it didn't take long for the elvish princess to warm to the vampire who watched her with intense eyes. Nor did it take very long to fall in love with him... Ronal is a Gatekeeper in this land of Mythe and his destiny is written. Caetria will be Queen of the Elves one day and must remain with her people. Sacrifice will be expected from all the inhabitants of Mythe. War looms on the horizon...To overcome the obstacles they face and hold on to the happiness they have found will require a love beyond measure.
