Waking the Burning Valley (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781952009020)

What is it like to be born knowing the name of your soul mate? What happens if that name suddenly changes? Khiriellen Fortiva is a member of an Elven clan that believes not knowing the name of your destined mate is akin to being soulless, and altering your fate is impossible. When Khiri steps forward to begin her life with her mate and finds he's no longer the one, her fate is forever altered. With her entire future crumbling to dust, Khiri is forced to leave her home and search for answers.

Estan is devoted to his goddess, but has learned a terrible secret about those that follow her. He seeks the leaders of a war that has been over for twenty years, hoping that they can aid him in returning his order to righteous ways. Estan's only clue to finding these leaders lays within the pages of a tome that has had the name of its author removed.

The lands of their world are fraught with perils. Demons prowl the wilds, thieves roam the streets, and assassins lurk in the shadows. It's not safe to travel alone. Joined by paths of ill fortune and a band of unlikely followers, Khiri and Estan find themselves on a road that leads as much to the past as it does the future.
