Publisher Description
Exposed. Cut off. Falling in Love.
Faerie's been exposed to the mortal realm, along with every Fae warrior, royal and citizen who happened to be traveling there when the Veils fell. Now it's up to Princess Astra to somehow protect the Fae who are cut off from Faerie, negotiate a peace with hostile mortal governments and figure out a way home. As if that isn't enough to deal with, her idiotic, centuries-long crush on the Guardian in charge of her safety is back with a vengeance.
Kahji has no intention of ever informing Princess Astra that they're destined mates. She's a princess and he's a captain of the Royal Guard. Romance isn't part of the job description. Thankfully, she's been completely oblivious for hundreds of years. Until they're cut off from Faerie, that is, and the matebond he's spent centuries containing roars to blazing life. Now Kahji has to deal with an angry Fae princess, something that would terrify even the most experienced and deadly of Fae warriors.
They may be fated mates, but that doesn't mean she isn't plotting his very painful demise.

Astra
Being a fan of Paranormal/Supernatural stories and shows I wanted to love this book. The plot had great potential. The further I read, the more ⭐️’s I knew I’d be leaving off. By the time I finished the book I was steamed. I’d leave none if I could. I am so SICK of the trope of “Humans bad, Supernaturals good.” For crying out loud it’s everywhere.
In the instance of THIS book, if a human or a “mortal” was deemed decent they were indigenous because they actually “cared” about the earth, unlike anyone else. (Basically the white man). They made it a point to talk about how the indigenous people talked about the loss of their land and the bloodshed over it. GIVE. ME. A. BREAK. If you’re going to reference history, reference ALL of it. Don’t tell things one sided. Native tribes constantly fought and warred with EACH OTHER over land, slaughtering each other and spilling blood waaaaaaay before Columbus ever got the idea to go on a voyage. Still to this day the Navajo and Hopi tribes don’t get along which makes things difficult for me as I have friends in both tribes and they don’t get along “on principle”. Social settings can get a bit awkward as most of my friends are native. I also live right next to a reservation. It is some of the most littered land I have seen. Sometimes you’ll be blinded from a distance with how much broken glass is on the side of the road from bottles of alcohol. It’s a dry reservation and bootleggers make a fortune. But it’s not just that, tires, cardboard, sometimes entire vehicles abandoned. So to act like just because someone is indigenous they respect the land and imply that if they aren’t indigenous they don’t respect it is pure garbage.
This DEFINITELY a work of Fiction alright. No facts whatsoever.
