Reunited - Ladis had finally come home to Veridac after six hundred years, reuniting with his wife and child. It’s everything he ever wanted. But coming home after so much time is harder for Ladis than he thought. His child, Parviel, is a stranger. His wife, Claudiel, has embraced the human king’s rule. Ladis can’t seem to find his place. As the wedding between Taradil and Malvad comes closer, Ladis struggles to accept the future and the human king who reminds him of the man that betrayed him. Can he embrace the future, or will Ladis cling to the past and be forced to leave Veridac?

Courting Miss Blythe Smith - Captain François has decided to remain in Veridac with his little brother, Fynadil. He is excited to stay for a single reason—Miss Blythe Smith.

As magic returns to the Veridac elves, Blythe struggles to control hers. When Captain François offers his little brother as teacher, she accepts. When the captain asks to spend time with her, Blythe says yes because he saved her life and she owes him. As she grows closer to the kind captain, Blythe is not sure of her own feelings.
