All Daena has ever known is the underground library her family has been entrusted to guard for generations. It holds all the history and secrets of Enneduin. And she ought to have received decades of training to take her father's place as the Bookkeeper of Enneduin. But when he dies, she is left to teach herself all that lies in the corridors of knowledge beneath the city of Aerlond.
All Firan has ever known is combat and training in King Garrick's army. He learned to wield a sword before he could read and has earned the respect from his men that decades of training demand. His path is well situated towards achieving the highest rank in the army. So the last thing he could have foreseen was being removed from battlefields to stand guard in the dusty, silent halls of the Library of Enneduin.
When the Bookkeeper and the warrior are forced to work together to eliminate a threat to Aerlond's peace, they will find that all they have ever known is nowhere near enough.

In These Days of War
The elven kingdom of Tírnéth, weakened by civil war, is unable to ward off the threat posed by the mortal men of Carransii. For the first time in recorded history, foreign feet scale the Aghadh Mountains and tread elven land in pursuit of the most coveted thing in the world: The magic of the Misty Bog. Lying to the north of Tírnéth and governed by the Seelie Queen, it is a domain even elves are forbidden from entering. Even so, Princess Eimhir and her younger sisters make the journey to its border at the behest of her father, King Lorcán, in a desperate bid to preserve his legacy as the enemy closes in from the south. He entrusts his daughters to the care of his enigmatic Warden of the North, who holds her lonely vigil in the Grey Tower of the Wall of Devin. But in these days of war, Eimhir refuses to be passive. She will not be a damsel in distress awaiting the cold kiss of her enemy's blade. With her mind honed by the cutthroat politics of the royal court, she wields it like a weapon, but can she maintain her ruthlessness through the burgeoning feelings she holds for her protector? The book cover was painted by me. :) Content warning: violence, gore, explicit sexual content, mentions and depictions of death, grief, emotional manipulation/abuse, suicidal ideation, and indoctrination.Complete
