    The Mate Bond is a rare, sacred connection among two Fae—stronger than marriage—linking their souls like a string or bridge. The Bond may snap into place instantly or over time, every situation is different. The Bond is often sensed by one partner first—usually the male—and must be communicated to the other, who chooses whether to accept it. Mates aren’t always romantically compatible, but the Bond's existence means magical equality between mates and potential for powerful offspring. Refusal to accept the Mate Bond can cause madness in the rejected Mate. Death of a Mate brings soul-deep grief in the surviving Mate.
