Of Heart and Stone

Previously published as EIRWEN

She has a heart of stone.

A heart he is fated by the faeries to break.

Eirwen Blackvein grew up in a mining camp at the edge of the map. A perfect place to hide an elven princess destined to destroy a queen and save a kingdom at war, as foretold in a seer’s magic mirror. Except, Eirwen doesn’t know she is the lost princess. Only that she was found as a newborn with her heart carved out. And why she now possesses a heart of stone in her chest.

A heart made from the black stone she mines to power weapons for her realm’s king.

The same enchanted stone coveted by a neighboring queen to destroy an entire kingdom.

Eirwen’s only desire is to protect her workers. Even if it means kidnapping Lieutenant Prince Florian Halivaard, the youngest son of a warmongering king she discovers half-dead outside of the Dark Forest.

With monarchs from different kingdoms willing to kill for her heart’s magic, Eirwen finds herself at the center of a losing battle. Her only chance to protect those she loves and defend her kingdom is to trust her enemy—a prince with haunting silver eyes fated by the faeries to one day meet a heart of stone.

A heart he will break.

OF HEART AND STONE is a young/new adult elven faerie tale fantasy spin on the romantic tale of Snow White, blending faerie magic and pagan ritual with a 1930s-1940s wartime inspired setting. Guaranteed to please readers who love angsty, enemies-to-lovers medium-burn fated romances, twisted fairy tales, and strong found family themes.
