Über diesen Titel
Once, we’d worshipped them as Gods.
For nearly four-hundred years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.
Then, we died on their swords.
All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There’s no choice but to flee everything I’ve ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman.
Now, they’ll claim what’s theirs.
But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn’t dare to want and a distraction I can’t afford. I can’t seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line.
My heart.

Now, she lives in poverty with her mother and brother on the lands of a cruel lord who has been grooming her since she was a child. Terrified and trapped, Estrella faces an impossible choice — and just when things couldn’t get any worse, the Veil falls. As monstrous creatures are unleashed upon the world, Estrella and her brother flee, only to be cornered by the Wild Hunt. They’re saved by a mysterious stranger, Caelum — handsome, enigmatic, and far more than he seems. Estrella is drawn to him in ways she doesn’t understand, and together they embark on a dangerous journey to find human survivors and hide from the Fae.
Personally, I found the pacing too slow. Much of the story revolves around Estrella and Caelum traveling, but not much actually happens. The plot felt predictable and lacked anything that hasn’t been done many times before — which isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker, but the writing didn’t pull me in as I’d hoped. Overall, it felt rather mediocre.
At times, I found the story boring and the romance didn’t quite land for me. Some of Caelum’s dialogue even came off as cringey to me. The last 20% of the book does pick up quite a bit, though, and I found that section much more engaging. I usually love a morally grey Fae, but somehow Caelum just didn’t do it for me. Estrella, on the other hand, was a strong and relatable main character, even if a bit too subservient for my taste.
I listened to the audiobook, and while the narrator’s voice suited the FMC perfectly, I didn’t love her attempt at the male voices — it took away from Caelum’s character and likely affected my overall rating. I’m not sure yet if I’ll continue with the series.
