Cathair O Cuana is the High Prince of the Moraine clan, heir to a fading unseelie legacy bound by honor and restraint. As the eldest son of Queen Eimear, Cathair shoulders the burden of leadership with a quiet intensity, striving to protect his fragile people from extinction. His clan, once among the darkest and most powerful, now clings to the constraints of the Trocaire—a vow that forbids killing humans for magic—making them vulnerable in a ruthless world of fae politics.
Cathair’s animal form, or ainmhi, is a majestic eagle owl, and he is known to skirt duty by spending his transformation days not in the sanctuary, but perched outside the window of a human girl with moss-green eyes and a magic that calls to something deep inside him. Caught between duty and desire, he is drawn to her with a force he doesn’t understand—one that threatens everything he’s vowed to protect.
Fiercely loyal, deeply principled, and bound by honor, Cathair stands at the precipice of a future that may demand the ultimate sacrifice: his heart or his crown.
