“Why do you keep calling me that?” he asks. “To remind you of the gulf that exists between us, my king.” He takes a step closer. “It’s not working.” They thought he'd have more time. Now Father is dead, and Lorial must take his place as the youngest king in Lostarien history while sinister forces threaten to tear his kingdom apart. As Nestraya, Lorial's closest friend, mourns the loss of the man who was like a father to her, Lorial must convince her that Lostariel's only hope is for them to become more. That they're better together than they are apart. But Nestraya's wounded past is a chasm Lorial must cross before he can reach her heart. Then, when a mission to stop a needless battle goes awry, Nestraya is left with a gut-wrenching join her heart to Lorial's or lose him, and the hope of Lostariel, forever. Note from Lorial & Nestraya, a friends-to-lovers, forbidden-love story, is a full-length prequel novel to Elven Heartbound , the Kindle Vella sensation. This is a standalone novel meant to be enjoyed as a complete story all on its own, so there is no cliffhanger ending to worry about, though the epilogue does lead into the premise for Elven Heartbound. I'll see you in the heartlanding!
