Forged by Malice by Elizabeth Helen (Hardback)

A new chapter begins for Rosalina O’Connell as she embraces the truth about who she really is. No longer just a human caught in a fae world, Rosie discovers her growing connection to the Enchanted Vale runs far deeper than she ever imagined. With powerful mate bonds forming and her place among the cursed princes becoming clearer, the future she wants finally feels within reach.

That future is soon threatened when violence erupts across the realms. After a deadly goblin attack linked to the Spring Realm, Rosie and the four princes are drawn into a dangerous political conflict that could ignite a devastating war. To uncover the truth, they travel to Spring, where betrayal, ambition, and hidden enemies wait around every corner.

For Prince Ezryn, the journey is deeply personal. His own brother seeks to seize power and drag the realm into ruin, forcing Ezryn to confront the darkness threatening both his kingdom and his future. As tensions rise, Rosie finds herself increasingly involved in the fate of Spring and the curse that continues to haunt the princes.

The challenges facing them extend far beyond politics. Dangerous enemies emerge from unexpected places, loyalties shift, and the balance between love and duty becomes harder to maintain. Rosie must learn to navigate her growing powers, complicated relationships, and the temptation of forces she knows she should resist.

With kingdoms on the brink of conflict and the curse growing more urgent, the fight to save the Enchanted Vale becomes more dangerous than ever. To protect the people she loves, Rosie may need to become stronger than she ever thought possible.

Perfect for readers who enjoy romantasy, fae romance, fated mates, why choose relationships, magical kingdoms, Beauty and the Beast retellings, morally grey characters, and high-stakes fantasy adventure.
