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.

The Path

Derya stared back at the castle, splotches of light in so many windows and on the guard towers, and her heart ached. The moment she had to say goodbye to Andor was one of enlightenment. When he tenderly kissed her and finally forced himself to let go of her, she understood the depth of her feelings for this human man.

Not only was he her mate, but the love of her life, and the thought that she might never see him again tore her apart. Even leaving the castle made her understand that she considered it home.

"Princess?" Ninive asked when she noticed Derya had faltered, and the others came to a standstill, watching her with a compassion she could sense without looking at them.

"Let her say goodbye, Ninive. The heart needs a moment when it leaves behind what it loves," Argana said.

"Did you ever love like that?" Ninive asked curiously.

"Yes, once, but it was shortly after my sister- and brother-in-law were murdered."
