Birth of the Half Elves, Book One, 2nd Edition

Beneath the towering canopies of an ancient forest, in a realm once illuminated by the splendor of immortal magic, destiny begins to unfold. Ryyah, a land scarred by centuries of decline, now stands at the crossroads of hope and despair. After a cataclysmic event shattered its golden age, the Elven people retreated behind stone walls and fading traditions, dividing the world into patchwork territories where nothing is guaranteed -- least of all survival.
Alayna, a fearless Wood Elven warrior, makes a desperate choice that changes the fate of these lands. In an act of rare compassion, she rescues a group of human children orphaned by a barbarian raid. Defying her own people's deep-seated prejudices, she raises these survivors in a secret southern outpost, teaching them the Elven arts of archery, stealth, and magic. Over time, these children transform from frightened refugees into formidable Rangers. But the Forest Elders' tolerance for human presence is tenuous, and her heroic deed sows the seeds of conflict with the powerful High Lord Aden -- Brandela's father -- whose hatred for humans runs as deep as the oldest trees.
Ten years later, Donovan -- one of the rescued orphans -- has grown into a lethal scout brimming with quiet determination. Fueled by loyalty to Alayna and haunted by the day his birth family perished, he lives by the disciplined teachings instilled in him. His vow of vengeance takes shape when a barbarian warlord named Garock murders Alayna in cold blood. As the High Lord's army scatters the remains of Garock's forces, Donovan slips away, determined to destroy the killer responsible for his mentor's death. Yet on the cusp of his mission, he discovers shocking news: Garock has captured Princess Brandela, High Lord Aden's youngest daughter.
Brandela's beauty, strength, and regal spirit burn bright even from the depths of her prison cell. When Donovan infiltrates Garock's encampment to save her, their first moments together spark a tremor in both hearts. She is a royal captive raised to see humans as lesser beings; he is a human warrior shaped by Elven discipline. Despite all odds, a fragile bond grows between them -- one tested by the shadowy alliances Garock has forged. With a looming threat that could bind the fate of both Elves and humans, Donovan and Brandela must rely on each other in a hostile land that views their union as heresy.
As they flee through blood-soaked battlefields and perilous wilderness, pursued by Garock's relentless horde, Donovan and Brandela discover an unexpected longing. Their hearts and destinies entwine in a forbidden bond rumored impossible by ancient lore. Struggling against fear, prejudice, and the memories of those they have lost, they walk a razor's edge between love and destruction. For in Ryyah, a realm fractured by centuries of distrust, the emergence of Half-Elves could either unite the broken factions -- or ignite a conflict more devastating than any cataclysm of the past.
