The palace gave her
everything but a
place to belong.
To her surprise, she found it among the people she was taught to fear.
Among the rebels who have taken her from the palace, Alina discovers forbidden magic, the lies behind her kingdom, and a fragile sense of belonging. But she is still the enemy’s daughter—and trusting Kael Stormborne could cost her more than she knows.

The author behind the world
Hi, I’m Rina.
I write fantasy romance about people who want to belong, keep secrets they probably shouldn’t, and don’t always know how to love each other well.
I write around a day job and family life, with two cats who consider the keyboard shared property. When I’m not writing, there’s usually another book waiting.
