Caelan changed. And now the girl he was supposed to deliver to an altar is the one person in two worlds he cannot let go of.Swept through a portal into the breathtaking and brutal world of Vaelthorn — where fairies weave light into living wood, werewolves run beneath full moons in forests that remember everything, and vampires have served in armies for three hundred years — Elena must navigate palace politics, ancient history, and the terrifying discovery that the most dangerous person in her new world is the same one teaching her to shoot a bow at dawn.Because Caelan is many things: the finest archer in Kael'dris. The most brilliant military mind of his generation. The prince who has spent his life being exactly what was required of him.And the man who commissioned a gown for a girl he had never seen — because even before he admitted it to himself, he had already decided he could not hurt her.In Vaelthorn, the truth about Elena's purpose will shatter everything she thought she understood about why she was brought here, who she can trust, and what she is willing to give to save not just herself — but the balance of five kingdoms that has been broken for three hundred years.A sweeping fantasy romance for fans .
