Every day, Avriel hears the bards sing about the greatest love story of all times, a heartbreaking romance between a human nobleman, Captain Edward de Vere, and the beautiful Queen of the Fae, who dismissed him and shattered his heart to accept her throne. Like many court ladies, Avriel longs for the sad and romantic captain as she secretly works as a double agent at both human and fae courts to keep the peace between the two kingdoms.

But for three hours every night she remembers a completely different world, where the greatest love story is a lie, and Edward belongs to her. She believes this reality to be the true one, even if no one else does. To undo the spell and set things right, she must go against the all-powerful Elder Fae and confront the darkest powers that rule her destiny. But even that is not the worst. Her actions may destroy the world as she knows it, and open her kingdom to destruction. Is this choice worth getting her love back?
