"Pull of the Vale"

After a brief return to her human world, Lily Brennanfalk feels it again—the Pull. The Vale is calling her back. Choosing a future with Rannoch means leaving her old life behind, but the moment Lily crosses into Alternis, she learns the realm has already begun closing in around her. Word of a newly awakened Vale Born has spread—and powerful enemies are moving to claim Lily's power. Silvanis, the ruthless enforcer who once served Opius, hunts her across the realm with relentless fury. And somewhere in the shadows, a far more dangerous player is quietly pulling the strings. But Lily refuses to be anyone’s weapon. Haunted by the losses that brought her to Alternis and the injustices she’s witnessed there, Lily sets her sights on something far more dangerous than survival: changing the fate of the realm itself. Even if it means crossing the deadly Hinterdunes. Even if it means risking everything. Because Lily Brennanfalk didn’t return to the Vale to run. She came back to change everything.
