Nymph. Hero. Murderer.

Orla didn’t want to be anyone’s hero; she wanted to be left alone. For years, Orla created a life away from the elven army, where she could avoid her past sins. Prestige, fighting, friendships. She left it all behind when disaster struck because she couldn’t control her magic.

But when her king sends for her, she’s forced to face the ghosts of her failures. Now a lord from a rival kingdom has arrived, shaking the foundation of what she thought she knew about herself. Orla must choose if loving him is worth facing her past or if she should run from it. Again.

Bastard. Lord. Traitor.

Owain has only ever wanted one thing: the respect of his people. But elves don’t respect bastards, even if they’re the son of a king. Now Owain has the chance to prove that he’s more than just an illegitimate son.

His plan was working; until Orla, the nymph who brought ruin to his battalion and killed the heir to his kingdom. She was everything he had ever wanted and the one person he could never have.
