About this ebook

Raegan Oaks has spent her life fighting invisible battles of pain with no name, and grief that never lets her breathe. When betrayal shatters the fragile bridge she’s built with her flatmate, Ethan Zarik, she flees into the night towards an ancient oak, which mysteriously opens to the realm of Liravel: a world of magic long thought lost.

There, beneath its epic sky and ancient peaks, embers of power begin to spark, shadows whisper her name, and a dangerous Fae warrior sees what she cannot...

Back in the mortal world, Ethan is unravelling, haunted by nightmares and clawed by demons and darkness he can barely control. When fate rips their worlds apart, he surrenders to the monster within, knowing it’s the only way to tear open the realms to reach her.

Two souls bound by a curse older than time.
Light and shadow. Love and ruin.
And a starlit flame that could reduce even the darkness to ash.
