Remena is a land where humans and fae coexist, seemingly on equal terms. The elves who control magic live in their own territory in Keto under the authority of an elven ruler, even though the royalty of Remena is human. Since the fierce demons were banished to Tuoni at the end of the demon wars fought a thousand years ago, Remena has lived in peace… but the stirrings of danger loom on the horizon.
Moorna is a 21-year-old half-blood whose life as an escort to the capital's aristocracy is harrowing. She wants to pay off her escort debt as quickly as possible and return home with her friend Malkra to live a life free from discrimination. When Moorna accidentally stumbles upon the annoyingly handsome fae, Caidas, she is torn from all that is familiar and safe, and quickly learns that nothing is as it seems.
This is a fast-reading and engaging fantasy where the pages turn almost by themselves. The world, and especially its demons, are wonderfully imaginative and the description is adequate. There is just the right ratio of gloom and humor. There are many tough topics and events, such as all kinds of violence, death and inequality, but also banter and silly situations. Of course, that romance is also present to an appropriate extent.
