Broken Ones (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218956837)

When Evalyn Impur was fifteen, her parents tried to kill her.

But unlikely rescue arrived, and the girl spent years unraveling her purpose and identity in the wake of a tragic childhood.

It's on the cusp of turning twenty that she finds it: Evalyn is a Faerie. Not only that-but the Lost Princess of the Kingdom of Faylinn, prophesied to be the grandest monarch in history. Guidance from the alluring Walfien Pax, Hand of the Queen, and the captivating Kalan Lupien, Alpha of Faylinn's wolf allies, makes Evalyn's identity easier to digest... but too good to be without a catch.

The malicious King Oberon of Braena has been searching for Evalyn for two decades. His endeavors to reach Evalyn bring terror and anguish to her new home, and her eventual capture unearths a reality that is darker than her worst nightmares. As the truth of the King's desires are revealed, she must bear the heavy weight of making an impossible decision: who was she?

The same shattered soul she's always been, willing to risk unlikely victory in a continental war? Or, despite her brokenness, a leader worthy and able to save all that she's come to know and love-including herself?
