If your fate came calling, would you follow it…or would you run. Ember Celarian decided to run. Thrust through a rift between worlds, Ember escapes her fae realm and lands in the unfamiliar human world. Trading morning combat sessions for coffee runs, Ember deals with typical human dramas— ex-boyfriends, university gossip, and sorority politics. But when a late-night escapade reveals her true fae form to an unlikely stranger, Ember’s carefully crafted human existence begins to unravel. As the tremors of her past threaten to shatter her reality, Ember must grapple with the consequences of her last night home and confront the responsibilities she’s long avoided. Will Ember choose to embrace her fae heritage and face the dangers that await her, or will she continue running from the fate she’s destined to fulfill?
