Mirthielle

Centuries before Rufus was born, the forbidden love between a faerie Guardian and a mortal prince unleashed a devastating war between men, faerie beings and gods, breaking the boundaries of the universe and burying the truth beneath the ice of Eldermere.

Long before they became legend, Thirielle and Edrion belonged to worlds that should never have met. She was one of the Guardians charged with protecting the borders between men and faerie beings. He was a prince of Vardren caught between loyalty to a sick brother, the ambitions of his own blood and a marriage meant to secure the survival of his kingdom.

Their meeting beside a lake will change both worlds.

What begins as a forbidden attraction grows as old alliances fracture, brothers conspire for a crown and forces far older discover that a Guardian has crossed the boundary she swore to protect. In a world where names have power, promises create bonds and even gods demand obedience, love can become the first act of a war.

Thirielle is an independent saga set centuries before Sylvae: the story of how some of its laws, wounds and secrets were born, and why certain truths were finally buried beneath the ice of Eldermere.
