SHADOWMEND: A TALE OF TWO REALMS Some boundaries were never meant to be crossed. Some hearts were never meant to connect. When high elf healer Lyra saves the life of dark elf assassin Kier, she doesn't just break the ancient laws separating their kingdoms--she ignites a power that hasn't been seen in a thousand years. As war looms between their peoples, manipulated by shadowy forces with blood-soaked ambitions, Lyra and Kier find themselves on the run from everything they've ever known. Hunted as traitors, their only hope lies in uncovering the truth about the original division between their races--a truth powerful enough to get them both killed. In forgotten temples and secret forests, they discover an unthinkable reality: their peoples were once one, separated by a catastrophe deliberately erased from history. And a prophecy claims that two elves from opposing sides will either bring lasting peace or devastating destruction. As their initial distrust transforms into a forbidden bond that neither can deny, Lyra and Kier must navigate deadly politics, ancient magic, and their growing feelings for each other. Together, they might heal the rift between kingdoms--if they can survive the forces determined to keep them apart. For in a world where light and shadow have never mixed, their love is the most dangerous magic of all. *First in the breathtaking Shadowmend Saga, this heart-pounding fantasy romance features cliff-hanging suspense, deadly conspiracies, and a love powerful enough to rewrite history.
