When Faerie is poisoned by treacherous mortals, apothecary Chloe knows she'll have to heal the land to save it. But for someone who doubts her own abilities, she's afraid her plan will fail.
It doesn't help that the fae warrior she's falling for wants to end the war in a different way. Kill all the mortals in Faerie. All except her. He doesn't seem to realize that by hating her people, he's driving a deeper wedge against her.
Even if he learns to see the difference between treachery and mortals, she still can't fall for him. Because someday she'll die of old age but an immortal like him never will. How could she doom the one she loves to such pain?
