The Worthy Ones

When the orphanage marks them as sacrifices, Elowen and Rowan run. Best friends since childhood, they find freedom in the woods, laughter in the dark, and-at last-the love they'd been too afraid to name. But the shadows that hunt them cannot be outrun. On the eve of the ritual, Rowan gives his life for her, and Elowen chooses to follow-because she cannot imagine a world without him.

A tale of friendship, first love, and the price of fate-where even in death, their hearts beat only for each other.
