The Elixir of the Green Willow Guard: YA Fantasy Romance
To protect her sister’s life, Shylah will risk everything—even her heart. Since their parents’ deaths in a fire three years ago, seventeen-year-old Shylah has one mission: keep her twelve-year-old sister, Trulian, safe from the ruthless Queen of Dimmet. Trulian is a Traveler, a rare gift that allows her to enter the dreams and memories of those she meets. If the Queen gains control of Trulian, no one’s secrets—past, present, or future—will be safe. Shylah designs a forbidden elixir to suppress her sister’s powers, but the ingredients are running out, and with the help of a mysterious figure intent on unlocking her sister’s true potential, Trulian is building up a tolerance. Shylah’s plans unravel when her caretaker’s once-scrawny nephew, Durmad, returns from Green Willow Guard training. Now a confident, skilled soldier with his own dangerous ability, the Queen wants his loyalty, and she isn’t above manipulating him to secure it. As old frustrations and flirtations turn to undeniable feelings, Shylah can’t decide if Durmad is her salvation—or her ruin. Shylah must decide where her true loyalties lie— before the Queen tears them apart for good.
