    About this ebook

    Sister. Mate. Queen?

     

    Zara has waited millennia for her fated mate and is certain he will be the perfect match for her, but then they actually meet for the first time. She always knew fate wasn't to be trusted, but this was going entirely too far.

     

    Zivek is thrilled to finally meet his destined mate, a Fae surely created just for him, which is why he's entirely taken aback when she finds his status as future king of Faerie to be a dealbreaker.

     

    Convincing his reluctant mate to accept her destiny as future Queen of the Fae will be a challenge indeed.

      DESCRIPTION

      Sister. Mate. Queen?

      Zara has waited millennia for her fated mate and is certain he will be the perfect match for her, but then they actually meet for the first time. She always knew fate wasn't to be trusted, but this was going entirely too far.

      Zivek is thrilled to finally meet his destined mate, a Fae surely created just for him, which is why he’s entirely taken aback when she finds his status as future king of the Fae to be a dealbreaker.

      Convincing his reluctant mate to accept her destiny as future Queen of the Fae will be a challenge indeed.

      CHAPTER 1

      THE PLAN HAD always been for Zara to travel with her sister, Luna, to the mortal side of the Veil. She knew the journey had its risks, including the possibility of being trapped there, but Zara and Luna had agreed that the possibility of being reunited with their brother, Mitaru, was worth every risk.

      Luna was one of the smartest Fae Zara had ever met, so she knew if anyone could figure out how to reopen the Veils, it would be Luna.

      However, as it turned out, the Veils were not cooperative, no matter what Luna had attempted, and so, after six months of trying, she’d come up with an alternate plan.

      They would track a roaming Veil, she’d announced, and use its power instead.

      Zara had major concerns about this plan.

      Roaming Veils were unpredictable and it seemed the height of foolishness to use them for anything, let alone something so dangerous as traveling between realms.

      When Zara pointed this out, though, Luna simply insisted that their magic would keep them safe, and so they set off to find a roaming Veil, something that surprisingly hadn’t taken much time at all.

      They simply followed the rumors of sightings and eventually arrived in time to watch one roam away.

      This was enough for Luna’s brain to launch in a thousand different directions as she filled boards with calculations and formulas, assigning patterns where Zara saw none, working late into the night for weeks on end until she was certain she knew where the Veil would appear next.

      Thus began an entire year of tracking the same roaming Veil all over Faerie.

      Luna dragged Zara from location to location, furiously calculating and recalculating after every sighting. No matter how hard she tried, though, each time, week after week, month after month, Luna’s calculations were slightly off.

      They always arrived a few seconds too late or a few hundred yards from where the Veil actually appeared.

      Each time they failed, Luna adjusted her formulas and calculations and swore the next time, they would arrive at the right time and the right place.

      Despite all of Zara’s reservations, she never once left Luna’s side over those very long twelve months. Zara was afraid if she did, Luna would find a roaming Veil and attempt the impossible on her own.

      Impossible because roaming Veils were so notoriously
