Arendon: The Hidden

abstract The fae created "The Veil" with a wizard's help to hide from the manbloods that were hunting them into extinction eons ago. A recent discovery leads Derya to believe that Merlath, the Sorcerer who created the veil, deceived the elves, fairies, and druids who sacrificed their lives and magic to create the magical barrier. It was never meant to be permanent and poses a threat to both Arendon and the human realm, but with Merlath missing, she needs to find the human Oracle, who might be a myth. To do this, she needs to brave the human realm without betraying herself, and she can tell no one of her suspicions because Arendon, like Rohendor (The human realm), is a melting pot at the edge of war. Not having much time before someone discovers her missing, she enters the human world to find the Oracle might be dead, but as she prepares to face her punishment for breaking the law by even crossing the veil, she finds herself saving a halfling elf. This fateful decision rips her entire world asunder when the halfling turns out to be more than an elf and inadvertently connects their fates. This princess lives in the human world under her brother's protection, and with their fates now intertwined, Derya is doomed to spend the rest of her life in Rohendor with a choice: marry the prince and be his wife or be one of his servants. The bond doesn't physically allow her to leave Bailey's side, but by accepting her fate, she can no longer pursue the truth of Merlath's deceit, or can she persuade Bailey, Andor, and Argana that the fate of both their worlds hangs in the balance? Even if she can, can they do anything about it with Merlath missing? Can she trust them, and will she? Find out what fate has in store for our young werewolf princess now that she's no longer even able to shift into her wolf.

Questions

"Do you think what they say has merit?" Derya asked, and a frown pulled at Andor's brows.

"I do not know."

"We did not think to look for the answers in the holy texts when that should have been the first place we looked," she said, eating her food, not tasting it, and he nodded.

"I wish Argana would return. She would know more about this than us."

"Your wish has been granted," Argana said from the door, looking the worse for wear as she entered the dining room, her clothes torn, her brow bleeding, and her mouth grim.

"What happened to you?" Derya said, hurrying to the woman's side and touching the wound gently.

"With the unrest in the kingdom and people's fear, we were held up by bandits a ways from here. And whilst traveling incognito kept my mission a secret, it also made me vulnerable. I live only because a bandit recognized me and helped me escape because I once assisted his pregnant wife," Argana said, angered yet afraid.
