Kingdom of Longing (Bethloria Series Book 1)

Wars. Now plagues. Strange shape-shifters roaming the countryside. The age of peace that has reigned across Galfane is now ended and blood-sworn oaths that once created a barrier of safety against invasion have collapsed. Morgran’s armies are cutting a bloody swathe wherever his terrible magic is wielded by the unsuspecting.

As Princess of Gallenbreigh, a kingdom still standing firm against Morgran’s advances, Mistrelle Evanspay shirks her responsibilities and goes horse-riding instead. When she is overtaken by a storm, her frightened horse throws her and she is discovered by the handsome and enigmatic Ewarn Skylander, Morgran’s Chief Mage and councillor. Her head warns her not to get involved, but her heart yearns for a different life than the one her parents have in mind for her. Will she follow the check in her heart, or the wild romance Ewarn can offer?
