Sweet As Caramel: The Morningstar Series Book 8

Kj Fantasy

Nadja always knew that she was different. She doesn't look like her family, or the rest of the Light Elves. While they are all bright creatures with pale skin and white hair, Nadja has dark brown skin and silver hair. Even her ears are longer and pointier.
Nadja's uncle and aunt never fail to remind her how much a disgrace her existence is. Especially since she was the reason her mother died. They all tell her how she is unwanted. That she looks too much like a Dark Elf to be a part of their family. So they treat her like a slave and abuse her.
After hearing her uncle talk about killing her one night, she runs out of fear. Nadja runs as far and as fast as she can. Only, being outside of Light Elf territory proved to be much more dangerous than she expected.
Nadja runs into several different creatures. All of them either want something from her, or want to kill her. Nadja is too weak from not being trained on how to use her abilities. She puts up a fight, but it is of no use.
Finally, the Fae queen's guards happen to stumble upon her. Ralee saves Nadja and brings her back to the castle. Where Nadja meets the new king and queen. The old Fae queen convinces Nadja to stay in the castle and grow stronger.
So Nadja does just that.
Only, Nadja is still trained to be a servant. She isn't sure how to forget about that. Nadja isn't sure how to take the kindness the royal family gives her. She doesn't know how to live a normal life after all the abuse. And her powers are not growing stronger. She still doesn't have control of them.
Still, Nadja doesn't give up. She has to repay the royal family's kindness by getting stronger. Strong enough to protect them.
Thus, a new dream of hers is born. To be a warrior.
After a few months, it seems that Nadja is getting no where. She's still too skittish, too fearful to get stronger. Her fighting skills lack, her magic is useless.
Then one day, the new Queen's family comes to visit, and Nadja meets her mate.
Axton Morningstar.
Axton wasn't concerned about meeting his mate. He has his eyes set on another girl. Axton knew that he would never pick a chosen mate, but he couldn't help his heart.
When Axton laid eyes on Nadja for the first time, he wasn't won over. He felt the pull of the bond, but not as strongly as he hears people say. He finds Nadja intriguing, but nothing more.
The new Fae queen demands that Axton take his mate back home with him. Where Nadja can learn to fight from the best warriors. Where there are people who can help her with her power.
There, weird things start to happen to Nadja. Her powers seem to increase exponentially. She has a hard time controlling the increase in her power.
It causes them all to start looking into her past.
Just who is Nadja's father? Is he a Dark Elf? Can Nadja learn to control this power?
Why doesn't Axton feel the pull as strongly as he should? Will he accept Nadja anyway?
Most importantly, what exactly is Nadja?
