A Crown of Wind and Water

A reluctant heroine, a hardened soldier, and a love powerful enough to change fate.LiamI'm a soldier, not a diplomat, and certainly not a kidnapper.But the oracle was clear: my brothers and I must retrieve the human women destined to destroy the Witch Queen or watch our world fall to darkness.I expected a warrior.Instead, I find Wren. She's small, sharp-eyed, and furious when I try to take her. She floors me with one well-placed kick and walks away like she hasn't just defied an elven soldier sent by fate itself.I should be irritated.Instead, I'm intrigued.She may look fragile, but beneath her quiet strength is a power I don't fully understand-and a will of iron that makes me want her at my side far more than is wise.WrenMy great-grandmother used to tell stories about the fair folk with bright eyes, pointed ears, and beauty dangerous enough to steal a girl's heart. I thought they were just stories.Until one of them tries to abduct me from the dentist's office.Liam is impossible to ignore-lethal, arrogant, and devastatingly beautiful, but I'm nobody's idea of a hero. I'm barely five-foot-two, I design jewelry for a living, and I want no part in an elven war.Then he and my mother reveal the truth about the magic running through my blood, and I may be the key to saving an entire world.Against my better judgment, I agree to travel to Domhan. But before I can reach the portal, a dragon attacks-ripping Liam and me away from Mom and hurling us one month back in time.Now the fate of the elven world rests on my shoulders, but I'm more concerned about finding my mother in this war-torn world. No dragon. No witch. Not even destiny is going to stop me.
