The Silversmith - (The Selvaren) by Lj Claren (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy debut filled with yearning, tension, and forbidden love will feature an exclusive bonus chapter and foil on the cover.

A royal secret. A dangerous power. And a love that may conquer all--or destroy everything.

Still reeling from the deaths of her father and brother, Ary Gold survives only by sheer will in the icy wilds of the North. When friends arrive with stories of long-lost magic and a power buried in her newly discovered royal blood, Ary is thrust into a fate far larger than her sorrow.

Promised to a revered military commander whose army could help defeat the growing threat, Ary is expected to marry, rule, and stop an ancient shadow wielder from stealing the magic that runs through her veins. But fate has other plans.

Her real challenge arrives in the form of the brutal, battle-scarred warrior assigned to train her. He's ruthless, untouchable--and infuriatingly magnetic. He isn't her betrothed... but he may be her undoing.

As sparks fly and loyalties are tested, Ary must decide whether to follow the path laid out for her--or risk everything for a love as wild and dangerous as the power awakening inside her.
