Emera's story is no fairy tale. Her prince doesn't seek a princess; he craves only his maid's pheromones, a vital component for his survival as a Wendh. With each encounter with the Fifth Son, Emera finds herself falling deeper for her alien lover. But one fateful night of strange, hungering desires, triggers a metamorphosis that reshapes Emera into something neither human nor Wendh. Before she can understand her transformation, she's ripped away from him, utterly alone.
Emera must learn to control her flourishing Wendh gifts as she desperately tries to find her way back to her prince. Her journey is a dangerous exploration of newfound freedom, joined by Tokie, an ancient, impish being who appears as an angelic child. Together, they uncover a truth: Emera holds the key to rekindling a love lost between a king and his queen, preventing a war between father and son, and dismantling the brutal hierarchy that has long bound Wendh and humans as master and slave.
