Prince Jael of the Severin never meant to unlock the Crimson Gateway beneath his parents’ castle. The portals had been sealed for millennia. Only the female Fae of Caldaen were meant to wield dream-sorcery. Jael forced himself into lucidity, crossed the gateway, and emerged in a mirrored Oxford.

Now Jael has reopened the path for his people to feed on souls once more—and reclaim their lost immortality.
