Synopsis
After a long war between the elves and humans, Morrowmer is a land full of divided people. Finally free from decades of captivity, Annalise, a high elf, is on the run. Moving from refugee camp to refugee camp, she keeps to herself. These places are dangerous, especially for an elf. One night, the camp is attacked by strange, ferocious beasts. She should flee, but when she stops to save a human, she alters her fate forever. Stolen and taken to a new land, she discovers there is so much more going on than she first thought. A great darkness is about to descend on the Fae Lands and she might be the only one who can save them all. Can Annalise rise from the ashes of her past and become the person she was born to be? This is slow burn reverse harem and is aimed at readers 18+. There are some scenes that some readers may find upsetting.
