To be a Fae

Aalyviah Thornne has spent most of her life trying to prove she belongs. The only human in the magical realm of Faeyra, she’s surrounded by immortal fae who see her as weak, unwanted, and destined to become the same failure they believe her parents were. No matter how hard she trains, no matter how fiercely she fights, she can never escape one painful truth: she isn’t one of them. But when the charming Crown Prince Dean Graves begins paying attention to her, Aalyviah sees a chance to finally earn the acceptance she’s always craved. If she can gain the royal family’s trust, she may be able to achieve the impossible—become fae herself. As their relationship deepens, Aalyviah finds herself experiencing something far more dangerous than hope: love. Yet beneath Faeyra’s glittering beauty lie secrets powerful enough to shatter kingdoms. Betrayal lurks behind every promise, ancient lies haunt her family’s past, and the closer Aalyviah gets to her dream, the more she risks losing herself. When the truth about Dean comes to light, Aalyviah must decide what matters more: becoming the person everyone expects her to be—or learning that she was worthy of love all along.
