The Iris were sent to us from the stars, but their rule is controlling and oppressive. Every season, we send our brothers and sisters to the marriage drafts, but the selected never return.

Aella's world falls apart when she and her best friend are drafted to compete for the hand of Esterra’s most eligible bachelor, the devastatingly handsome Iris prince.

As an elemental fae, it should be the greatest honor, but the competition is filled with violence. Aella questions her true purpose as they fight to survive in games rigged against them.

Arianwen's life should be simple—go on her rite and return to marry a man she’s never met—but when a handsome stranger falls from the sky, everything is turned upside down.

Secrets and lies unravel, leading her to question everything as she finds herself pulled into a rebellion. Her heart longs for a better world, but is she willing to forsake duty in pursuit of it?

Both face choices: LOVE or DUTY, LOYALTY or ADVENTURE, FIGHT or SURRENDER. Is fate truly written in the stars, or have they abandoned us?
