The Broken Country We Once Loved
In a land scarred by betrayal and magic, Elyndria lies in ruins-its glory shattered fifteen years ago in a cataclysm known as the Shattering. Lyra, a healer haunted by her past, has buried her forbidden gift of memory-weaving, living in isolation until a wounded stranger stumbles into her life, carrying a map and a name: the Thorn. Drawn into a rebellion she thought long dead, Lyra ventures into the cursed Ashen Vale, where the truth of her world unravels. The Thorn is Kael, the man she loved and erased from his own memories to save him-a choice that may have broken Elyndria itself.
As enforcers hunt them and a sorcerer's dark power threatens to consume what's left, Lyra and Kael must confront the lies that bind their world. Her magic, once a curse, becomes their only hope to unweave a reality built on her guilt and restore the country they both loved. But with every thread she pulls, the past resurfaces, and the cost of truth might be everything they've fought for-including each other.
Perfect for fans of The Priory of the Orange Tree and An Ember in the Ashes, The Broken Country We Once Loved is a sweeping fantasy of love, sacrifice, and redemption, where one woman's power to shape memory could mend a nation-or destroy it forever.
