Blood of Briar (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991213417)

The Kingdoms of Soarden are at war.

Elves and humans fight in an endless conflict, sparked by the Red Elf's murderous crimes. Merfolk hide, and dragons have long since faded from memory.

For half her life, Sydney Krane of Briar has battled in Queen Camillea's Honor Guard. The enemy has always been clear. The elves are monsters; the soldiers of Brimhold are heroes.

But when tragedy strikes close to home, Sydney is thrown into a dangerous quest for answers and justice. Alone, deep in foreign territory, she must learn to survive among those she has been trained to hate. As secrets unravel, Sydney faces an impossible question: What if everything she's fought for has been built on a lie?
