The star-crossed lovers in this absorbing fantasy novel are two warriors from opposite worlds. Princess Scota is an earthly princess who does not believe in the fairy world until she meets a defiant captive named Boyden, who is revealed to be a legendary fey fighter trying to stop earthly incursions into his realm. As Scota and Boyden face off, battling across the wind-scored hills and misty woodlands that border the fairy realm, their distrust erupts into a hot and eternal passion. Though they fear their love has come too late to stop the killing, they declare a truce between their two armies.
