A wild, romantic fantasy epic of rage, love, and inner power.

To be different is to be in danger, but to be more myth than human may be Halja’s greatest power.

Born the daughter of a selkie, Halja is condemned as fae-touched, marked as an outsider for her fae lineage. But when she meets Byrgir, a mysterious stranger who sees past her fae-touched appearance, and Eilith, a wise Sourcerer who takes her under her wing, Halja’s world shifts.

Yet when a fanatical High Priestess blames the fae-touched for the monsters that plague the realm, Halja finds herself caught in the crossfire. With the king’s ear and the power of a new god behind her, the High Priestess will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who stands in her way.

Halja must uncover the full potential of her shapeshifting power - the very thing that damns her in the eyes of her country - to save those she loves and protect the fragile future she’s begun to imagine with Byrgir.

When myths come alive and ancient conflicts resurrect, will Halja’s magic be enough to save her people? Or will her greatest fear be confirmed; that she was born unworthy of her place in this world?

The epic, soulful first installment in The Stormbound Series—a tale of love, magic, and rebellion that fans of Rachel Gillig’s lyrical prose, the thrilling adventures of The Witcher, and the fierce fury of John Gwynne won’t be able to put down.
