Publisher Description
A forest princess and a demon boy collide in this friends-to-enemies-to-forbidden-lovers romantic fantasy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Elly Blake.
Once upon a time, a young forest princess became friends with a lonely demon boy. He gifted her a ring, a worthless trinket . . . or so he thought. Because no sooner did he slide it onto her finger than the demon queen and forest king declared war.
Years later, Cassia is a crucial force in her father's army, wielding her ring of light against hundreds of demons at a time. Then battle-hardened Zeru abducts her, planning to steal back the ring to fix his childhood mistake.
Terrified, and more than a little mistrusting, Cassia is forced to travel with Zeru to a place they both believed only existed in storybooks, one where their friendship slowly rekindles into something much more. But it's only a matter of time before the war they've escaped comes for them, and a hidden threat to forest folk and demon alike grows in the shadows.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In her youth Cassia, a Sylvan, is given a ring by her Dracu friend Zeru. When it is revealed to be the Solis Gemma, a powerful magical artifact, their relationship dissolves, becoming a point of contention amid the decades-long feud between the Sylvans and the Dracu. Despite 10 years of training, Cassia can still barely wield the ring's powers against the underground-dwelling Dracu, much to the consternation of her father, the Sylvan king. To steal back the ring, Zeru captures Cassia, only to discover that she and the ring are bonded. Following a seer's advice, Zeru persuades Cassia to go to Welkincaster, the origin of the ring's creators. As they search for answers, sparks fly between the childhood friends turned enemies, even as war looms on the horizon. The central romance often feels unbalanced due to Cassia's earnest drive to better understand herself and Zeru's unwillingness to see beyond his own goals. Nevertheless, vivid worldbuilding conjures an expansive setting against which this romantasy series launch by Blake (the Frostblood Saga) unfolds, resulting in a majestic tale that weaves together questions of destiny, love, and self-discovery. Ages 14–up.
