Heart of Farellah (Book 1 of the Farellah Series)

By Brindi Quinn

Nineteen-year-old Aura Rosh is the only silver-haired girl in Farellah, the city of songstresses. Born into a family known for producing powerful women blessed with the power of song, Aura feels the weight of expectation as she prepares for her coming-of-age ritual that will finally unlock her magic and allow her control over the elements. But when, on the night of her rite, Aura is kidnapped by a pair of elves before she can complete her ritual, she finds out her stardust hair matches the description of a legendary songstress foretold to either save the world or end it.

Torn from her village, Aura soon finds herself wrapped up in elven lore and politics and at the center of a prophecy where one group believes her to be the Heart of Havoc, an evil songstress who will release a song to destroy the world, while another thinks her the Heart of Salvation, the world’s only hope against the coming destruction. When Aura discovers her older sister was kidnapped by a dark group known as Druelca for a similar reason, she decides to take fate into her own hands, agreeing to make a pilgrimage to save her sister while hoping to convince her captors-turned-guardians she is neither their villain nor their hero.

As Aura’s powers begin to manifest, she realizes there are those within her guard keeping secrets from her. An ancient truth has been kept hidden from her people, her memory may have been altered, and there is a spirit from beyond the grave that keeps trying to warn her. Unsure who to trust, Aura begins to feel a deep, mysterious connection to two of the men in her guard—one a suspiciously familiar elf who literally warms her veins with his touch, the other a handsome shadow-wielder who has an uncanny knack for reading her and seems to know much more than he’s letting on.

In this epic fantasy romance full of magic and mystery, one girl desperately seeking to be more than her appearance will learn to hone her Creator-given power, challenge her fate, and maybe, just maybe, learn the reason for her moon-kissed hair.
