BOOK BLURB:
Less than six months ago my life was twisted and flipped on its side. Things have changed so much I barely recognize myself anymore. 
I am no longer an Enforcer. 
I am no longer a Witch. 
I no longer hate the Fae. (For the most part) 
And the sex-on-a-stick-gorgeous-Fae? He isn't really the Dark Prince. 
No, he is the father of my children and with the babies on the way, the land dying and the Mages closing in; alliances will have to be formed if we are all to make it through the war that is coming to our front door.
Between warring Gods and Goddesses, how are any of us supposed to win?

THE REHASH


  • Is she in her third trimester now? Cause they've been saying she's big and bulging lol. 
  • The first part of the story is more Fae History for Synthia
    • Omg. Ristan. He got wings, tails and horns when he Transitioned but that fucking Father they had docked it.
    • Ristan showed Synthia, Kiera -- Ryder's mom. Who's mind is a bit shattered due to torture from Alazander.
  • Ristan then sent Synthia with Adam and Darynda to the throne room as Ryder requested. He went away because Alden is in trouble.
    • When they got to the empty throne room, she saw that Adam and Darynda are both lying in the corridor. 
    • She called for Ryder to come into the throne room and she was inside the crystals where she was locked into the small area. 
    • Ryder arrived with the Elite Guard. Tried to get to her to no avail. She's in mental link with Ryder, btw.
    • She can't escape so she called for Danu -- her Goddess mother, mentally. Which Ryder heard by the way.
    • Since she didn't told Ryder about her being a Demi Goddess, he's definitely angry about it.
    • She asked Danu for swords and told her she'd protect the children even if it means spilling her secrets to the world. 
    • Even pregnant and bulging, she could kickass with those swords.
    • She got out after Danu moved the crystals and brought down the ward.
    • And yep, he's definitely mad about it.
  • They talked about her 'lying' about her being Danu's daughter. She reiterate what Danu said. She withheld the truth because she's afraid. That since they are destined to each other because her mother created her for him to be balanced out, that it's the only reason he wants her. Not because it was his choice.
    • So Ryder is mad. Synthia sifted out of the castle. Went to the places they went together so she's not really running away. 
    • Ryder found her and then explained things and feelings and shit.
    • They sifted back and Eliran used ultrasound on her. That Fae doctor is obsessed with Human techs.
    • They're having boys! Yay!
  • Synthia saw Ryder and went to him. Only to find that it's a Fake Ryder. Claire stabbed her with the God bolt so that her powers are subdued. They sifted out and then was in a cave with Faolan and the Mages. 
    • Faolan tried to rape her but Dyson, who was the fake Ryder, stopped Faolan. He also told him that she's in labor.
  • On Ryder's side, he requested for Ristan. He was being accused because Synthia went to the throne room because he told her to go there and it was attacked by the mages. 
    • Ristan immediately worries about Synthia and the babies. He told Ryder that he didn't set her up and will never do that to her. He only sent Syn to the throne room because he asked her to. In short, they were deceived. 
    • Ryder went to the pavilion where she's supposed to be in but cannot find her. He asked Darynda who didn't know where she'd gone too.
    • He found the medallion that Syn wore on the floor. Then Claire was there telling them that Syn leave with another man. *roll eyes*
    • Ryder knew Claire is a bitch though so he knew something is up with Claire. Zahruk used that projecting power he had on Claire and saw what really happened.
  • She was placed on the stone and the Mages start to chant. Syn had to beg the mages to stop and not kill her unborn children.
    • And then finally, Cailean came. He fought the mages, removed the bolt but not the both of them. Syn tried to reach her power and blast the Mage closest to her. But the bolt was shoved back to her. They stabbed her near her heart instead of her shoulder.
    • Faolan is overpowering Cailean, but then something struck Faolan's shoulder. The Elite Guard came and Ryder was leading them. 
    • Faolan, the fucker, sifted out again.
  • Ryder sifted her back home. Syn was telling Eliran to save her babies. Because she knew she's gonna die.
    • Ryder is livid. He wants Eliran to save them all. Synthia and the babies
    • Eliran is helplessly looking at her. He knew Syn will be dead soon. 
    • Synthia was saying goodbye to Ryder. Telling him to be good to their children. That she loves him and tell their children that she loves them and how much she wanted to be there for them. 
  • Ryder watched her helplessly as her eyes glazed over. He shouted at Eliran to save her but the latter slumps his shoulder and shook his head.
    • Ristan pleaded to Eliran to save the babies as it was what Synthia wanted. To save her children.
    • Ryder lost it. He's feeling so much and I'm about to cry too just remembering them because crying men are my fucking weakness.
    • Ristan ordered Eliran to save the babies but he shakes his head and moved away from Synthia's body.
    • Ristan was left with no choice but to do it himself. He sliced Synthia to get her babies. Ryder is so mad at what he's seeing but his men hold him up so that Ristan can save the babies.
    • One son is out, checked and then the babe cried. The other boy is pulled out, cried. Ristan then pulled out another one. A third babe. A girl. Ryder wants nothing to do with the babies because he felt that if he didn't got her pregnant, Synthia will still be there. But his heart stopped as he saw the third baby. 
    • Adam sifted in. Saw Synthia dead. He felt the familiar bond shatter as Syn died. He sifted out and return with Alden and Adrian. 
    • Ryder felt all the link (the bond to their father) to his children. Fuck. Ryder is crying. He doesn't care anymore. He broke. His daughter was hidden by her brothers and was protected by them. 
    • They left him alone with Synthia's body. 
  • Lo and behold! Synthia is NOT dead! Danu made her a Goddess. Her old body needs to die and it's the only way Danu could saved her without affecting the balance. She was reborn as a Goddess of the Faery. She learned she got three babies instead of twins. lol.
    • She went to Ryder's room and saw Darynda with the babies, then she saw Syn and screamed. Then sift out. Presumably to call Ryder.
    • She cuddled her babies and she's currently cuddling the daughter when Ryder entered the room. They couldn't believed it was her and Ryder asked her to do something that Syn would never do. LOL. So she dropped to her knees and told him she give up. Synthia would never give up without a fight so Ryder believe it was her.
  • Danu explained to Ryder what she had done to save Syn. They talked about how they would present it to the Fae. 
    • After agreeing on what to do, Danu left for them to talk. 
    • Talked about feelings and all that. Of course they had sex. *roll eyes*
  • Ristan and Adam bought a lot of baby stuff. Lol. Cause they can't glamour the formula milk if they didn't know the ingredients.
  • Danu went to get Syn and brought her to the Fates. They showed Syn her life from the adoptive parents up to when she died. They brushed her, cleaned her, dressed her and all that.
  • Lasair, Madisyn and Liam went to the Horde Kingdom. They loved Syn and Lasair felt the bond between father and child broken when she died. So Lasair was angry at Ryder. Madisyn held the dagger and was about to attack Ryder when she called out to her. 
    • She explained what happened. Who her real mother was. Liam doesn't believed it at first so she showed him. Liam then accepted her and was angry at Faolan.
  • Assembly has been made. Claire has been called out asked what her part in actions about the things that happened. The bitch told Ryder that she just wants him and proved that she'd do anything to get what she want even killing Syn and the babies. 
    • Syn showed up and she got new powers. She can read minds. She read Claire's. Where she planned the murder of her and her children. 
    • Claire was supposed to be sentenced with the Traitor's punishment for the next ten thousand years but Synthia wouldn't have it. She stopped Ryder and told them that Death should be the punishment. Ryder killed Claire. And I was like "FINALLY".
    • Cornelius attempted to riot against Ryder. Abiageal is innocent of her father's crimes so Synthia told her such.
  • Cailean knows that Faolan is evil so he still protect Syn. He shielded her from Faolan since she was a child. Been trying to protect her from him for years. Cailean cannot do anything when she was given to the Horde King but could follow her still to make sure she is safe. He appointed himself as her guardian. Syn choose Faolan to be her babies' protector.
  • So now they are engaged! Yay. And people know she's alive. 
  • So yeah. Of course after that good thing, we have the bad thing. The Tree is iced.
  • Every one from Elven came -- Autumn, Winter, Summer, Spring are all in the Horde kingdom.
  • Ristan and Alden was off the radar and they felt something is wrong with Ristan. The gang needs to go to the Human world. They left the babes with Ciara and a couple of guards plus the handmaidens.
    • They left using the courtyard showing off to all the lesser Fae that was camping there lol.
    • These motherfucker Mages needs to die to fucking bad. They tortured Alden and Ristan! They killed the kids!
    • WHUT THE FUCK. Bile, Danu's estranged husband, is in there helping the fucking mages. Danu said so herself. And of course the Goddess will help with Bile but not the mages.
    • They saved Alden and Ristan. Burned the Guild down. When they get back to Faery, the lesser Fae took an oath to Ryder.
  • And surprise! Syn can now lie again. lol.
  • Ristan! T.T His inner Demon is now in charge for a bit. Because he feel too much. The torture. T.T He carries Kahleena. He said he's her protector and apparently he's also feeding her some power so she could last while they try to look for a cure for the Tree since it was currently frozen solid by the mages. (Cade, Zander and Kahleena are the babes names)
  • Tatiana and Dresden are banished from Faery. They collaborated with the Mages and all the Royals agreed to banish them. Depose is what they used here btw.
  • Syn was given a vision. How to heal her daughter and the tree.
  • They got a visit from the Goddess of Destiny. Surprise surprise. Well, Syn got a visit but was told she's not really the one she's looking for. But told her some things about how she nudged Syn and Ryder into the right path.
  • So after all the preparation, they went to the Tree. All of them. Not only the Elite Guards and their Royal family (Horde, Blood, Dark, Light) but also the Elven folks. All of them gathered to the Tree.
    • Of course. IT's the WHITE STAG. AND of course it's the Elder Tree that will stop or melt the ice from the Tree. 
    • The Tree finally thawed out and it's time for the triplets to be blessed by Danu. The land successfully accepted the three kids. Kahleena's getting better. <3
  • New character! Lucian, Lucifer's right hand man. He got a series of his own btw. 
  • They end with the gang going to the human world and Syn killed the Faes who feed from the humans then killed them. Those Faes are all under Tatiana, the bitch. Lol. This was done while they are on the news live, both local and international news. lol. They made promise that no Mages will be spared and those who helped those Mages will be hunted down. They are also building a new Guild and Alden will head it.
