Vale Born

After countless cycles of being an unwilling servant for the Umorfae in Lacausia Palace, Naiya Azal is finally doing something to change the fate of her Syrenni sisterhood. However, she has a problem, one she created herself. Her intrigue with Praetor Locrien—one of the Umorfae guards she is trying to subvert—has taken a turn. No longer just useful for information, the relationship has grown to something she’s quickly losing control over.

Desperate to find her missing best friend Josie, Lily Brennanfalk's hope is renewed when she picks up Josie's trail in a mystical world. A chance meeting with a charming Umorfae turns to a fight for survival, as Lily finds herself embroiled in a battle between the warring Fae. She makes a deal with a lethally attractive male that could save them both, as she tracks down her friend...if it's not too late. She must grow past her trauma and learn what it means to be Vale Born, if she is going to survive the treacherous perils of Alternis.

After a short return to visit her mother in her rural hometown of Black Oak Grove, Lily Brennanfalk quickly feels the Pull, an insistent demand that she return to the Vale. She had planned on going back anyway, since the Vale would not allow Rannoch—or any other Fae from the Vale—to leave its boundary. Lily knew she wanted a future with Rannoch, and to be together, that meant saying goodbye to her human life.

In the climactic conclusion of the Vale Born series, a shocking murder of an Ignisfae dignitary thrusts Lily Brennanfalk into a vortex of political intrigue and danger. Lily discovers unsettling clues that point to Dashelle, the rival Vale Born hungry for Lily's power. With meager evidence, Lily is compelled to return to TerraIgni to inform King Ashwan, only to find herself haunted by enigmatic dreams of the Maeder Tree, the creator of life in Alternis. The future of the realm is thrown into peril as Lily endeavors to answer who the killer is and why the Maeder Tree needs her help.
