Summary: *NOTE: THIS IS A SEQUEL*
Devilyn Reilly has crossed over to the sinister world of The Dark Fae, reigning over the realm as its King. He is to fulfill a prophecy—to unite the Light and Dark Fae once and for all, but those who love him now fear that he will never be the same again, that he can no longer be trusted, that every trace of the Light he once had is gone forever.
Caroline Ellis, the final heir of the Light Fae, must learn to survive without the protection of her one true love. She must come to embrace her own strength to evade those in the Dark court who seek her destruction—for the power is within Caroline to use Light to change Fate itself…
Caroline and Devilyn’s chemistry is undeniable. Their destiny together inevitable if only they have the will to overcome The Darkness and The Fates.

*AND NOW AN EXCERPT*
Within moments I stood in the very heart of the Forest of Magik. I looked around and could see the trees begin to take shape and move, eyeing me curiously as I stood in their lair. The brown bark morphed into limbs of men and women, faces moving out as they swayed with the air to watch my every movement. The Tree Fae were magical and mischievous, but they were sacred amongst all Fae, light and even dark. To destroy one would be to destroy a thousand souls all at once, and for a Fae it would mean purging your own soul into damnation.
“My son.”
I cursed myself for not hearing his arrival as I turned to meet his ever-loving gaze.
“Odin.”
“Let’s do away with formalities. I would love nothing more than to hear you call me father yet again,” he said softly as he took a step toward me.
Even though it defied explanation, he had clearly aged. Despite being dressed in all his Godly glory, his clothing rich and embroidered, underneath he felt different. Fighting the devil inside, I was immediately saddened to see him in this state.
How I wish things were different.
He was Odin the all powerful, the ever loving, and how I wished he really was my biological father. How I wished that it was his blood that flowed through my veins instead of the blood the Fates had given me.
“After all that has happened. After what I have become, how can you wish me to call you by that name?”
“You are my son. Light or dark. My son,” Odin stated solemnly as he walked closer to me. “I have told you this thousands of times, Devilyn. There is nothing that can or will ever change it. No matter how black you think your soul may be or how full of shame, my love for you will never change. Never diminish,” he stated solemnly. “My love for you is for eternity. Do not question it any further.”
I lowered my eyes in disgrace.
“You are not this monster you believe yourself to be. You are not this hideous creature that must hide with a black crown on his head in the middle of a Dark Fae Kingdom. I know the man you are. I have seen your soul—”
“You do not,” I told him, interrupting his words. I shook my head. “You do not know who or what I am. Not anymore.”
Odin smiled solemnly at me.
“I do.” He was but a foot away from me now, and I knew the tree Fae watched us closely, observing our every move. “I have lived a thousand lives, my son. I have lived a life unlike any other. I have seen man from the dawn of time. You think I have not seen every incarnation? You think I have not seen the very worst and the best of life?”
I closed my eyes.
“I have said this to you many times. And I am sure I will say this a thousand more: you are and will always be my son. No matter your choice. No matter your journey. My love for you is infinite.”
