Well of Eida

Everyone hides a monster inside. I tore mine from the inside out.

Two years have passed since Ari was taken as a prisoner to the troll realm. Two years of blood staining her hands, killing as the troll king’s mercenary. In Eida, it’s kill or be killed, and Ari will do anything to survive.

But survival does not come easy in Eida, especially for a young woman with fire in her blood.

When Ari’s sold to one of Eida’s most notorious training masters, her survival comes with a price: unleash the monster she’s buried inside. A very real and very dangerous creature no opponent can defeat.

Ari expects to kill. She expects to survive. But she doesn’t expect her growing feelings for the man who has claimed her as his. Together, Ari and her master will cut down every opponent in the arena seeking to win a wish from their king.

Until a man from her past challenges her within those walls, and everything Ari has fought for crumbles. All for a man she once loved. But if she is to save her own life, she must take his.

After all, everyone dies in Eida.

The first book in this young adult high fantasy series is perfect for fans of swoon-worthy hate to love romance and a well-done, subtle love triangle with a lot of slowburn tension but no spice. Well of Eida will appeal to fans of Jude Duarte from The Cruel Prince, and readers who enjoy unique magic systems, morally-grey characters, and a complex fantasy world full of betrayal and heartbreak.
