FROM EXCITING AUTHOR OF FANTASY ROMANCE H. BATTERSON
Book one in the Beasts of Lodhanis series
An ancient magic. An impossible love. A kingdom of lies.
Princess Wren Aranvia's existence is kept secret from the entire world.
Forbidden from leaving the palace grounds until the day she marries, she imagines the worst thing that can happen is being forced into a betrothal. But when her family is brutally slaughtered by mysterious, masked assassins, Wren's forced to flee the only life she has ever known, straight into the perilous wilds of Lodhanis. Hunted and alone, she falls into the hands of dangerous Elven rebels, the very people who most likely killed her family, and who very much want her dead-like Feilann, a brooding, frustratingly cryptic rogue who guards an impossible secret that could very well tear Wren apart.
In a world shaped by spell-wielding Beasts and twisted by the ambition of men, Wren slowly unravels the secrets behind her family's murder. But along the way, she awakens an ancient, untamed magic that tempts fate, calling into question everything she's ever known and exposing truths long buried by legend and ash.
