City of Gold

By Jessica Hale

Seventeen-year-old Rose Wilcox's life is far from attractive. Her mother disregards her very existence; her father is an abusive alcoholic, and the person she refers to as her boyfriend only seems to keep her around for sex and a good laugh.

Rose finds solace in the woods, where she can lose herself for days on end, immersing herself in the tranquility of nature and leaving the chaos of her daily life behind. Rose's world is upended during one of her hikes when she stumbles upon a seemingly ordinary stone. In a blink, she is whisked away into a realm of elves, a place pulsating with enigmatic magic and teeming with perilous creatures. As she grapples to make sense of her new reality and find a way back home, she is met with cruelty and disdain for her human race.

Of all the inhabitants, none despised her more than Raith-the General of the Golden Realm's army and a Dragoon with unfathomable strength. His threats to kill her were a constant shadow, forcing Rose to tread carefully and stay out of his way. But as their paths continue to collide, a passionate spark ignites beneath the surface of their animosity, and a fiery connection smolders that could very well destroy them.

However, once a strange power awakens in her, Rose's life becomes indispensable. Although her safety is now guaranteed, her chances of returning home quickly fade. With new threats emerging around every corner, Rose fights to stay alive and develops tenuous friendships that may lead to her undoing.
