Prologue
Fielan was a special case; in fact, none like her existed in all the Fae lands.
She was blessed with three souls—blessed being the operative word. One from her human mother and one from her father. Her mother had died giving birth in the human world. Her father, a Fae warrior, had taken his own life the minute he felt his lover die. Both souls entered the baby. None knew whether this was coincidental or deliberate.
She was retrieved from the human world post haste and grew up in an orphanage. If you looked carefully, you could see that she wasn’t fully Fae. She was shorter than average and a little more curvaceous. Her wings were slightly smaller, and her eyes were definitely human.

The child’s true soul had to be woken, and the others broken. The King summoned Fielan…
