With a new threat of evil and her own troubled home life to contend with, Emily and Jarrad will learn the tough lessons of consequence and sacrifice. Blood will be drawn, light shed, and lines crossed as Emily finds a mended heart can still break. And when it comes to those you love, there are some choices that can't be unmade.
Prince of Arèthane continues the story of Emily Banks, a teenage girl from a dysfunctional home who previously battled a heart condition and an alcoholic mother. That would have been enough for anyone, but then she finds herself in the middle of an age-long elf war and in love with her best friend's brother who also happens to be an elf prince. Emily would have been content to never return home, but Jarrad has other plans.
As Emily and Jarrad try to figure out how a relationship between a human and elf works, Karawyn and Aerath are hunting for the dark wizard, Jabari, while he stirs up dissent and contention in Arèthane. The return of an old childhood friend, the arrival of a mysterious new girl, and an elf queen's request will send Emily and Jarrad down a path that will forever alter them both. They find themselves asking the question: When you cross the line, can you ever go back?
