Virelight Trilogy - Book Two - Of Broken Fear and Buried Love
The shards are calling. And this time, the stakes are deeper than secrets. Elara and her (mostly) loyal companions set off to find the next two shards: one born of Fear, the other of Love. Simple, right? The Shard of Fear lies hidden in the heart of Mirrorwood-a haunted forest known for its vanishing paths, echoing illusions, and tendency to snack on unwelcome visitors. And the Shard of Love? That one's buried somewhere far more personal: Elara's childhood home. With Rowan growing quieter, Valen growing bolder, and a mysterious mimic lurking just out of sight, the road ahead twists with riddles, half-truths, and ancient magic better left forgotten. As the line between friend and foe begins to blur, Elara must confront what frightens her most... and what she's still willing to love. Heartfelt, humorous, and brimming with fantasy, Book Two of the Virelight Trilogy dives deeper into the threads that bind us-through fear, through love, and through the wild, weird wonder of it all. Because sometimes, the greatest magic is facing what's inside. Copyright ©️Complete
