"Song of Blood and Mist"

Sereia is the only one of her kind—half-Syrenni, half-Fae. The Syrenni, once enslaved by the water-wielding Umorfae, fear the very powers Sereia yearns to understand. Bound by her Syrenni roots yet drawn to the mysterious mist that shrouds their world, Sereia knows she doesn’t belong. When she meets Brokk, a displaced Umorfae seeking a home, he becomes her mentor and anchor, teaching her to control the water magic that flows through her veins. But their growing bond is tested when Sereia is swept to Adrilan, a city of stone ruled by the Petrafae. There, amid political intrigue, betrayal, and a forbidden romance, Sereia uncovers dark truths about her world—and the depths of her power. Torn between two heritages and a world that sees her as a threat, Sereia faces a devastating realization: to protect those she loves, she must become the villain they fear. The continuation of the completed Vale Born series set in a new generation, Song of Blood and Mist is a gripping tale of power, identity, and the cost of defying expectations—a Why-Choose romance perfect for fans of morally complex heroines and richly woven fantasy worlds.
