Edición en Inglés
In the Malku universe, fae, merfolk, and humans live together in varying degrees of harmony. Over the millenia, through the use of fae magic, these humanoid groups have inter-married thus creating the faekind (humans with fae ancestry) and webbies (humans with merfolk ancestry.) The story takes place in the land of Hanrisor, whose original inhabitants have lived with foreign sojourners and descendants of slaves. However, the Purists have long seethed under the presence of those they consider of impure blood and the rule of aristocratic faekind. When the Creator, who formerly lived on the planet, disappears, prejudices, and social complications worse.
Rune, a faekind descendant of the fae on his aristocratic mother's side, and a descendant of the white Purist Lukov clan, has enough problems navigating his family's political divide. His mother arranges a marriage for him with Guin, a dark-skinned descendants of slaves. But before they meet, disaster ensues and the Purist clans take the opportunity to rebel against the royal family. Can love thrive in a time of rebellion? Will Rune rise up against his father without treading the darksome path?
