Between Roses & Evergreens (Courts of Moon & Sun #1) by Carmen E Alamilla
 
In and out. That's all it was supposed to be.
Then again, dreams weren't supposed to be real either.
 
Aleria Oliveira, the only half-fae in Lecia, is the top-ranking cadet in the Lecian Military Academy. However, her attempts to graduate are mysteriously blocked by the Lecian Queen Mirel, her adoptive mother. It's not until she's made the queen's primary assassin and spy after an assassination attempt that she understands the repeated extension of her training. 
 
Venturing into a world that was forbidden for any Lecian fae to enter by Queen Mirel herself, Alerie comes face-to-face with the fae she swore were her enemies. Instead of the nightmare she was told the mainland would be, she discovers Norvith is more of an ethereal dream. Her beliefs become a mere illusion that is broken once the mysterious specter that haunts her dreams becomes part of her reality. A specter whose identity is that of a ruthless lunar high lord, one that she had only heard tales of horror about. One that she feels a pull toward, and she can’t seem to let go. 

 
The dreams were only the beginning. 
The true horrors of the world were closer to her than anyone wanted to believe.
 
Despite her distrust and cautiousness of the world, Alerie is everything Eren Lorveth dreamed of. Concealing her identity is the easy part, at least until her abilities begin to form in front of him and his court. It all feels too easy, too much like one of the dreams. 
 
When Alerie’s identity comes into question, and the other high lords discover she is Lecian, getting her out of Norvith becomes his priority in fear that her staying would become her death sentence. However, both options come with a heavy burden, and the price Alerie has to pay to return to Lecia could be greater than he or his court could have ever imagined.
