The Divide - Marie Nightwell

Elowen is running out of time. Her father is dying, her court is circling, and a secret buried in Thornhaven’s foundation will destroy everything the moment she’s too weak to hold it. She has no room for distractions - especially not the human hunter she keeps finding in the forest.

Levin doesn’t trust the fae. He has good reason. He built his whole life on that reason: on the clean certainty of what they are, and on staying away.

He doesn’t know what she is.

Not yet.

By the time he does, the pull between them has already decided for both of them. What exists between a fae queen and a human man who was never supposed to exist in her world has a name in Thornhaven. An ancient one.

And under the law, it carries a sentence.

A queen who bonds with a human doesn’t lose her throne.

She loses her life.

Dual POV. Slow burn. Explicit. For readers of Sarah J. Maas.
