The Threshold Realm is not one world, but many stacked against each other, held together by treaties written in blood and enforced by borders no one dares cross. After the Great War of Survival, vampires, humans, fae, and other beings divided the land into four regions—North, South, East, and West—each ruled by elite pairs to keep old hatreds from reigniting. The North's vampire courts hold ultimate power, led by King Tsvetan Ivanov and his brother Ruslan. The West houses human strongholds and orphans like Raelin. The East is the fae domain of Elysium Forest. The South stands apart, ringed by magical barriers around two sky-high portals: one crystalline with gold vines and galaxy swirls to Vahariin, realm of Elun'Thariel the Eternal Dawn; the other obsidian cracked with crimson embers to Zaokh, domain of Dae'Vharion the Infernal Dawn—guarded by her Children of the First Breath and his Five Enforcers of the First Flame. Along the border between North and West, two girls meet in secret.Maeve, vampire noble, centuries old but looking twenty, with turquoise eyes and mahogany waves past her shoulders—reckless, playful, third in line to the throne.Raelin, fae healer and orphanage orphan, nineteen, with onyx pixie-cut hair—witty, reserved, hands that mend but a life that breaks.They were never meant to be friends. But in the fog of the forbidden line, they are. Until war rips them apart.69Please respect copyright.PENANAkv2pAJIWIj
