A war long past. A barrier weakening. A banished king waiting to rise again. For over two decades, Olyrium has lived under a peace won by sacrifice. The enemy was locked away on a forsaken island, his power sealed by an unbreakable barrier, or so the realms believed. Now, the barrier falters and the creatures stir once more. An orphan with no past to claim, Aliyah has searched her whole life for a place to call home. When her village is attacked, fate throws her into the path of Enzo, a battle-hardened fae who swore never to love. Drawn into his orbit, she finds herself caught between friendship, loyalty, and a dangerous pull neither of them can deny. But love is a perilous distraction when darkness gathers at the edges of the realms. As the Banished King claws his way back toward freedom, Aliyah searches for who she is, leaving her with more questions than answers. Banished & Broken is the gripping first book in the Broken Realms series. A tale of magic, betrayal, and new found love. Where survival means facing the past... and fighting for a future that may already be doomed.
