Serenity is being with the one you love.
Despair is being kept apart.
After the rain comes the war.
What if the person you were meant to be with could never be yours?
For Serena St. Michael and Tristan Gallagher, love has never come without consequences.
Tristan has accepted his fate. He has returned to his realm and to the betrothal that will secure peace between worlds. Duty demands it. Sacrifice requires it. And loving Serena was never part of the plan.
Serena refuses to accept a future built on loss.
Still bound to the Royal Protector Academy and haunted by Tristan's choice, she makes a decision that will change everything. To save the man she loves, Serena is willing to forsake her own destiny, even if it means triggering a war foretold for centuries.
As ancient prophecies awaken and the Vergina Sun draws closer to fulfillment, Serena and Tristan are forced to choose between the fate written for them and the love that refuses to be denied.
Because some wars are not fought for power.
They are fought for love.
Aequus is the second novel in The Royal Protector Academy Series, a dark paranormal fantasy filled with forbidden love, prophecy, and impossible choices.
