Suffering from terminal cystic fibrosis at just twenty-three, Raven discovers a glimmer of hope in an enchanted key, a portal to the mystical fae realm of Ecromos. There, a miraculous cure awaits, but it comes at a steep cost: she can never return to her family and the human world she knows.As the portal transports her to Ecromos, Raven's fate takes a chilling twist when she falls into the clutches of Lord Argall, a formidable fae nobleman with a sinister agenda. Whispers in Ecromos suggest that Raven's enchanted key binds her to a fated mate, but Argall cunningly strips her of it, severing her connection to true love. In captivity, she endures cruelty and abuse, much like countless other human women in the lord's opulent manor, her dreams of happily ever after seeming futile.What Raven doesn't know is that her fated mate, Niall, a valiant soldier in the Court of Chaos, has united with escaped human women Zoe and Elianna, along with their mates Cailen and Blaze, and allies from various courts and kingdoms. Their mission: to wage war against Lord Argall and rescue the captive women, including Raven, before it's too late.The following themes are explored in The Other World series: graphic sexual content, terminal illness/contemplating death, captivity, slavery, abduction, rape, torture, sex trafficking, talks of suicide, vulgar language, and murder.

The enchanted golden key recognizes her destined mate, but her heart says it has the wrong male. A year has passed since Zoe Lawson used her enchanted key to cross into the fae world of Ecromos to receive a cure for her cancer, knowing she would never be able to return home. After receiving that cure, rumors claimed she would spend the rest of her life with a fated mate, bringing new life to a dying species. The reality, however, was quite different. Zoe had no idea that, when she left the human world, she would be captured by a fae nobleman who traded human women for breeding and sexual slavery. In such a world with too few females, she wasn't the only human woman who'd been stolen for such purposes, and she knew she wouldn't be the last. That is, until she met Elianna. As a cancer patient herself, Zoe's new friend's magical cure swung the pendulum in her favor, making freedom a possibility none of the enslaved women could have imagined. When Zoe and her friend escape the lord who'd enslaved them, they seek freedom in another court, protected by Elianna's newly found mate and a family of fae males. Zoe's key tells her that her mate is searching for her. However, with Cailean by her side, she is not sure if the enchanted key has the right male. As Zoe plans to return and free the other human women, danger lurks from those searching for them, and her heart battles against her key. Will Zoe and her friends be able to find enough allies to help them free their friends from a court where they are being hunted? In the meantime, will Zoe listen to her key, the only thing that can lead her to her destined mate, or will she abandon it entirely out of love for another?
