Faerie's been exposed and the Fae unveiled in Astra. Now, Princess Astra, who never wished to rule, is somehow responsible for protecting her people, negotiating a peace with hostile mortal governments and figuring 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. Behind a magical shield dividing the mortal world from itself, a Fae princess sleeps in Glory. The Ceremony of the Veils is always full of sorrow and tradition and never fails to make Princess Glory's heart bleed. She knows exactly what to expect when she travels to the mortal realm to bear witness as the Guardians of the Eastern Veil step into eternity. What follows, though, is nothing of tradition and everything of chaos. Mitaru was born to be a Guardian of the Veil, which is why he's completely unprepared when his generation fails in their sacred duty. When he's given a new mission-locate Princess Glory and protect her with his life-he's determined not to fail again. Getting through the shield that surrounds the city where she was last seen is the easy part. When he discovers the entire city slumbers behind the shield, the real challenge begins, especially when he realizes the sleeping princess is his mate. Unveiled. Bespelled. Falling in Love.
