Niall's journey commences when he senses the resonance of his key as Raven crosses the portal, only for it to fall silent when her key is stolen. His quest to find her intertwines with her ordeal at the hands of Lord Argall, who seeks to auction her off. The pivotal moment arrives when Niall and his determined allies mount a daring assault on Argall's stronghold, their actions holding the destiny of Raven and the other captive women in the balance.In a world where destiny and despair intertwine, Raven Adamos embarks on a harrowing journey that transcends the boundaries of life and death. Suffering from terminal cystic fibrosis at just twenty-three, Raven discovers a glimmer of hope in an enchanted key, a portal to the mystical fae realm of Ecromos. There, a miraculous cure awaits, but it comes at a steep cost: she can never return to her family and the human world she knows.As the portal transports her to Ecromos, Raven's fate takes a chilling twist when she falls into the clutches of Lord Argall, a formidable fae nobleman with a sinister agenda. Whispers in Ecromos suggest that Raven's enchanted key binds her to a fated mate, but Argall cunningly strips her of it, severing her connection to true love. In captivity, she endures cruelty and abuse, much like countless other human women in the lord’s opulent manor, her dreams of happily ever after seeming futile.​​​​​​​What Raven doesn’t know is that her fated mate, Niall, a valiant soldier in the Court of Chaos, has united with escaped human women Zoe and Elianna, along with their mates Cailen and Blaze, and allies from various courts and kingdoms. Their mission: to wage war against Lord Argall and rescue the captive women, including Raven, before it’s too late. less
