In a realm fractured by flame, shadow, and prophecy, three ancient elven kingdoms-Elarindor, Syltherien, and Thalvanyr-stand at the edge of unraveling fate.
Queen Aeryn of Thalvanyr has ruled in silence and strength, but a relic long buried beneath her mother's death-Velmorith, the Heart-that-Weeps-begins to stir. Whispered of in forbidden tongues, the relic does not just remember power; it mourns the cost of it. When it awakens, so do the ghosts of realms unseen.
Eyssira, Aeryn's fierce and gifted sister, bears the Shadowbrand, a mark of flame and fate that links her to the First Ember beneath the mountain. She crosses into a forgotten world where myth breathes and a vampire king, Sorathos, guards a forest that bleeds memory and fruit. In his presence, she discovers a bond deeper than magic-and a danger older than death.
But the veil between worlds is tearing.
And what sleeps beyond it... remembers her name.
As queens summon lost councils, trees fall silent, and ancient alliances fray, a prophecy awakens: one born of three thrones, destined to either heal the fracture between light and shadow-or destroy it.
This is Book 2 of The Blood of Two Worlds series.
