Forged by Malice by Elizabeth Helen (Paperback)

She has finally found a place where she belongs. The Enchanted Vale offers shelter, magic, and four cursed fae princes who have claimed her heart. Peace never lasts.

The castle is failing. One prince is ready to abandon his magic. Another guards secrets that threaten them all. Two more still face the pull of fated mates they have yet to meet. Desire complicates every bond, especially when the Prince of Thorns refuses to stay at a distance and temptation cuts far too close.

Whispers of war spread from the Spring Realm. Betrayal waits in the shadows, ready to shatter fragile trust. A ruthless enemy from the Below hunts her, intent on claiming Spring through blood and fear. At the same time, Ezryn’s own brother rises against him, seizing the throne and turning kin into foes.

Lines blur. Friends shift. Old enemies offer help with hidden costs. Survival demands choice, strength, and sacrifice.

If the Vale is to endure, Ezryn must reclaim his crown. To guide him, she must stand firm as a light in the dark, even as the weight of power threatens to consume her. Love alone will not be enough.

She will fight for her princes. She will fight for the realms. This rose will not break. It will grow thorns sharp enough to draw blood from anyone who dares to take her home.
