Flame in the Forest Preorder

Princess Vesta has never met a problem she couldn't solve with her sword—except getting married. 

The Wolf Lord of the Viridian Grove has grown desperate in his fight against a monstrous, undead horde and has asked Vesta’s father for help. And he’s gotten it—for a price. Her father gets an ancient artifact of great power, and the Wolf Lord gets… her.

The problem? Her father is lying about her supposed fire magic powers, and the stories her people whisper in the dark about the wild shifter druids make her wonder what price she will pay for her father’s betrayal.

The Wolf, though, is nothing like the rumors. He’s intelligent, principled, respectful, and, to her growing frustration, much too busy for her. Her new home glows with breathtaking beauty, a beauty she increasingly sees reflected in her new husband, if only he would have her.

The Wolf Lord, in turn, has learned the hard way that caring about someone else is a recipe for getting hurt. So then why does he find himself spending so much time with her? Only because he needs her magic to help his people. Her undeniable beauty and sharp wit have nothing to do with it.

Can Vesta win the Wolf’s heart? Can she kindle an ancient magic to protect the forest? Or will a rising ancient evil destroy the Grove first—and everything she loves along with it?
