Un exil volontaireDepuis un siècle, Delbin vit sur Terre, volontairement exilé de son monde natal, Moranaia. Il a appris à dissimuler sa nature elfique et à se servir de sa magie mentale sans se faire remarquer. Jusqu'à ce qu'il l'exerce malencontreusement sur l'éclaireuse moranaienne envoyée pour surveiller ses faits et gestes. Une alliée sceptiqueMême si Inona a une bonne raison de se méfier des exilés, une partie de son travail consiste à s'assurer qu'ils ne causent pas d'ennuis. Elle met le cap sur la Terre avec un seul objectif : en finir au plus vite avec cette mission déplaisante. Mais dès l'instant où Delbin tente d'utiliser son pouvoir sur elle, Inona remarque qu'il est différent. À mesure qu'elle découvre l'histoire de sa vie, elle se rend compte que certains exilés ne sont peut-être pas ce qu'ils semblent être. Un ennemi inattenduLorsqu'un prince moranaien dévoyé tente de recruter Delbin, la mission d'Inona prend une tournure qui n'a plus rien d'ordinaire. À présent, Delbin et Inona vont devoir collaborer pour traquer le prince et découvrir ce qu'il manigance. Delbin ne pourra peut-être jamais retourner à Moranaia, mais il fera tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour sauver son monde.

A lady without a purposeAfter the death of her soulbonded twenty years ago, Lynia has struggled to find her place. Her son, Lyr, has the estate well in hand, and there are no pressing duties for her to attend. Aside from keeping peace between their many visitors and ignoring her growing attraction to the cranky healer, her days blur into uncomfortable monotony. Not even her work doing research brings much excitement. Then an unexpected prophesy shoves her into sudden action-and the healer's company-as a plague threatens all she holds dear.A healer without hopeFor nearly five centuries, Lial has treated injured warriors and residents around Braelyn, but not even the small friendships he has formed can fill the increasing loneliness of his life. Worse, he made the mistake of falling in love with Lynia, who still mourns the soulbonded she lost. He buries himself in work to avoid her, but it seems the gods have other plans. According to his seer cousin, a new disease is coming, one capable of killing elves and fae alike. Lial's only hope? Working with Lynia to find a cure.An ancient threatWhile fighting to ignore their attraction, Lial and Lynia must search for answers.

An unexpected duty For three hundred years, Princess Dria has avoided the drama of the royal court by training as a battle mage. When her father summons her back to court just as she begins to rise up the ranks, she's furious. Even worse, she must work with her estranged brother Ralan on a mission to Earth. But as soon as Dria arrives at Moranaia's new outpost, her brother drops the leadership of the entire place into her hands. Now she's in charge of fortifying a new outpost on a planet she's never even visited. An abhorrent task Prince Vek of the Unseelie has spent millennia as his father's enforcer, working in the shadows to eliminate evil, but after sparing his nephew Fen from the king's judgement, Vek must tread carefully. One false move, and he will lose the king's trust-and Fen's life. But when the king gives Vek a new, more sinister task, Fen becomes the least of his worries. The Moranaians have a new colony on Earth, and King Torek wants the energy source that's contained within. Vek must retrieve that power-even if he has to kill the Moranaian leader to get it. A threat unknown From the moment she catches Vek sneaking into the cavern, Dria knows the truth-the dark and mysterious prince is her soulbonded. But she's certain he's up to no good, and although she's drawn to him, there is no way she can trust him. His reputation, and that of the Unseelie in general, precedes him. Unfortunately, more than desire is awakening. As they dance around their budding attraction, Dria and Vek uncover a deathly illness lurking among the fae-and a sinister plot that will damage both their worlds.
