Cali was a slave, abused, famished and then she met a King who would change everything.
This is the story of what was never supposed to be. The tale of young woman born into slavery, and an Elven King tormented by loss. Of the Elven Prince, who would one day join the Fellowship and that of his illegitimate siblings, who would struggle to find their place in the world. This is their heart wrenching and beautiful tale of love, loss and life.

The Forbidden Child
She was an accident. That's what she really was. Born a royal. Raised a commoner. An insignificant girl, born to have children and make her future husband happy. Never would she imagine that her father was a cast out king and her mother the daughter of a lord. Never would she imagine that she could be raised to be so much more; a warrior, a princess, or whatever she wanted to be. Never had she been told this as a child because she had been just that, a child. She would never have a perfect childhood and never would she be able to have that special bond with her parents. And all because she was a mistake. All because she was the product of a forsaken romance. All because she was forbidden.Complete
