-A crown of stars book I-
Gilryn Locklore, a highborn Lady of the Elvin Court, is an unfathomable beauty that prefers to spend her days wandering around the dark and dangerous Everforest.
With five elder brothers, she is not quite what one would describe a proper young lady to be. She hunts, fishes and has learned to fight with the best of them, yet none of this has prepared her for the journey that is laid out for her.
Her father, King Garrik of Ellavorn, has promised her to the prince of a much darker country than that of her own. She is to be sold, blood-bound to a man she has only ever had hatred for, but she will not stand down, will not subject herself to her fathers careless wishes, and so; she runs...
She runs as far as the Everforest will allow her to traipse, only to discover a land she had no idea existed along with a people that entrap her in their dungeon.
What awaits Gilryn on her journey? Will her scorned Prince come to her aid, only to imprison her in a cell of his own, or will she find herself connected to a people... to a man who wears the moon upon his neck.
