Bow Before the Elf Queen

The enemy king is dead. Loyalties are tested. New alliances formed. Daelyn risked life, love, everything to free her father from prison. Now hunted by the new King of Hesstia, she, warrior Boaden, and her father are forced to flee into the outlaw land of Nordia for safety. With bandits thirsting for the price on Daelyn's head, and the king's men in pursuit, they find the journey home even more dangerous than they could have imagined. As if the perils from the enemy weren't enough, Daelyn's new found magic might be powerful but if she can't gain control of it, she'll be more of a hazard than help in the fight to free magic.Swords clash, magic explodes, and battles erupt in the war the kingdom of Delhoon wanted, but when the enemy king acquires an advantage no one was expecting, Delhoon's magic and combat prowess might not be enough to win this war. Get enthralled in Wrath, the second book of the Rise series.
