A Realm of Love and Lies (Signed) — J A Chapman

he reminded me of the thistles that grew wild near Wyndaryn. Beautiful to look at. But spiky. Sharp. I wanted nothing more than to pluck her from this place and watch her bloom.

For twenty-five years, Aenan Wyndaryn has carried the weight of guilt. Blamed for his sister's disappearance and his mother's death, he returns to Avensharn determined to right old wrongs. But when his plans for revenge are disrupted, his attention is drawn to a fierce and guarded female who wants nothing to do with him.

Valerian has spent her entire life under the control of the Dark Fae. Raised to serve, she has never known freedom, choice, or autonomy. When Aenan offers her a chance at something different, she must decide whether she can trust the male offering her freedom—or whether he is just another version of the monster who has controlled her life.

A dark romantasy filled with forbidden attraction, healing, found freedom, dangerous fae politics, and a slow-burning romance.
