Dawn of the Fire Elemental

Celeste
My friends were stolen by the Fae. Their presence has been all but erased from the internet, and their absence was explained away to family and friends. Seeing the minds of grief-stricken parents completely altered drove home how dangerous the path I'm traveling is. Still, I won't give up until I locate Elia and Roan. Even if the other member of our found family, Glenn, is too scared to act. Digging further into their disappearance, I use my magic and connections to seek knowledge and forge a relationship with the mysterious beings that have terrified me my entire life. Astral travel has opened my universe up. The teachers I'm forced to trust will be my ruin or a crash course in survival in the deadly realm I'm determined to breach.

I never imagined the silly witch with traces of Fae blood would end up being my mate. I'll protect her at all costs, even against herself. Bickering with the woman who comes into a power that rivals my own wakes more than my dormant emotions. Fire licks at my skin and races through my veins, engulfing us and fueling our muscles. The child of the Holly King has died, and the Summer Court will soon follow. I'm not sure the realm on the brink of civil war and destruction should be saved. If my mate doesn't take the place of the fallen, the lands will go dark. Threatened by our rise, we're attacked by dark powers who have no idea the depths I'll sink to in order to keep what's mine safe.
