Dearest Darkness (The Zaffre Series Book 1)

Tragedy doesn’t always come in the form of brutalization or starvation, but perhaps is most dangerous when a person confuses heaving sobs as their old nighttime lullabies.Emotionally raw and morally torn, Briar of Zaffre is an Elvish princess who lives entirely different from her people. Due to her immense magical capabilities, she’s kept apart from others to keep secrets which, in the wrong hands, might break the infrastructural threads of reality. But when her dark gifts continuously pull her focus away from the norms of society, she constantly grapples with specific social expectations and the seemingly villainous tendencies she was born with. All she wants in life is to become unforgettable; needing the comfort she’s not the monster she perceives she is. And so, becoming a hero is her singular obsession. Perfectly opposite of who—or what she fears lives inside her tattered soul.When an enemy to the crown discovers her potential and breaks into the castle, she’s forced into the powerless mortal realm, where she has to overcome her bias’s against ‘mortal pigs’ and learn how to find happiness in simplicity and connection. Briar’s path to greatness is riddled with challenges that catalyze the beginning of the largest war known in existence. But before she can embrace her role in the impending war, she must first escape the magical damper locking her in the mortal realm. Even this is marred when some of her new connections steal her from her destiny by craftily sliding her down the slippery slope of treachery and betrayal.
