 Characters You’ll Fall in Love With

 

Princess Evangeline: Headstrong and resilient, Evie possesses a dangerously unpredictable magic that has left her living in exile, far from her family and home. Despite her circumstances, she uses her powers to protect her kingdom from afar, driven by a fierce determination to do good. Evie’s journey is not only about reclaiming her rightful place, but also about discovering her inner strength, as she learns to trust herself and embrace the unpredictability of her gift.

Prince Caleb: Once the strong and defiant heir to Ardell, Caleb is now a stone-bound prisoner of a dark curse. His fierce desire to save his family led him to sacrifice everything, including his freedom. Unexpectedly freed from his frozen prison, Caleb must learn to relinquish control and accept help from unexpected sources. Including the captivating princess who rescued him not once, but twice.

Two Wolf-Shifters and a Fae Mentor
Kaile: Smart, loyal, and courageous, Kaile is a fierce protector and strategic thinker. Quick and agile in both forms, he stands as a steadfast ally to Evangeline and Caleb, serving as a scout and reconnaissance expert.
Beckett: Strong, bold, and calm in the face of danger, Beckett never hesitates to use his size and instinctual fighting prowess to defend his allies and lead the charge against all enemies.
Gwen: Resourceful, compassionate, and intuitive, Gwen has helped Evie learn to harness the unpredictable magic that flows through her. She often acts as Evie’s anchor, balancing the impulsiveness of their quests with her practical insight. Though she may not wield a weapon, her mind and experience prove to be a formidable tools no matter the danger they face.
