About this series
Aodren: A lonely, young king, searching for a way to dismantle his father’s dark legacy.
Lirra: A girl with the power to control the wind, torn between duty and following her dreams.
For twenty years, Channelers—women with a magical ability—have been persecuted in Malam by those without magic. Now King Aodren wants to end the bloody divide and unite his kingdom. But decades of hatred can’t be overcome by issuing decrees, and rumors of a deadly Channeler-made substance are only fueling people’s fears.
Lirra has every reason to distrust Aodren. Yet when he asks for help to discover the truth behind the rumors, she can’t say no. With Lirra by his side, Aodren sees a way forward for his people. But can he rewrite the mistakes of the past before his enemies destroy the world he’s working so hard to rebuild? Erin Summerill returns with a high-stakes fantasy full of romance, magic, and revenge—perfect for fans of Susan Dennard and C. J. Redwine.

“Brain candy for fans of Summerill’s worldbuilding.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Timely . . . A satisfying mixture of political machination, mystery, magic, and romance, especially for fans of previous volumes.”—School Library Journal
“Lirra is a fierce heroine . . . A lighter fantasy than Graceling, but for a similar audience.”—Booklist

- Ever the Brave
“This fantasy quest delivers . . . Give to fans of Kristin Cashore’s Graceling trilogy and E.K. Johnston’s A Thousand Nights.”—School Library Journal The sequel to Ever the Hunted, which Sarah J. Maas, New York Times bestselling author of the Court of Thorns and Roses series called “absolutely marvelous.” After saving King Aodren with her newfound Channeler powers, Britta only wants to live a peaceful life in her childhood home. Unfortunately, saving the King has created a tether between them she cannot sever, no matter how much she’d like to, and now he’s insisting on making her a noble lady. And there are those who want to use Britta’s power for evil designs. If Britta cannot find a way to harness her new magical ability, her life—as well as her country—may be lost. The stakes are higher than ever in the sequel to Ever the Hunted, as Britta struggles to protect her kingdom and her heart. “This will appeal to audiences who enjoy fantasy, themes of good versus evil, and romantic conflicts.”—VOYA “Those thrilled by the simmering (yet fairly chaste) romance between Britta and Cohen will be immensely satisfied by the cliff hanger–free ending.”—Booklist
