Moonborn

Liya Virelan knows-without a shred of doubt-that there are only twelve realms. Her brothers scoured the world to prove it. So when the King of Varkesh-the same one who had her brother executed without cause-asks her to lead an expedition in search of a so-called thirteenth realm, she agrees for one reason only:

Revenge.

Liya has trained her whole life in secret, sharpening her skills within the palace walls with one goal in mind: vengeance. And this mission? It might just be her chance to finally take it.

What she didn't plan for is the runaway prince who sneaks onto her crew with a fake name and a suspiciously charming smile. Or the fact that he's joined by a questionably named best friend who may or may not be the brains of the operation.

Kaelen Thorne doesn't see himself as a runaway prince. He prefers the term strategic adventurer. His plan is simple: pose as a Varkeshi soldier, find the hidden realm before anyone else does, and claim it for Kolgrym. Easy, right?

Except for the minor complication of falling madly in love with the sharp-eyed, emotionally unavailable soldier girl who absolutely does not want anything to do with him.

But the thirteenth realm is real. And it's not what any of them expected. Magic is waking. Old truths are unraveling. And Liya might have to choose between the revenge she's lived for... and the boy who won't stop making her laugh when she's trying to stay mad.
