Death Daughter
A grieving princess. A cunning warlord. A premonition of death.
After a devastating loss, Princess Helga's narcissistic father arranges a marriage to an enemy lord for his political machinations. Her orders are simple: bring the guardian of the Demon Wall into compliance by any means necessary.
Thorn Valdemar will die before he lets Elderwatch fall under the elf king's control. He has no plans to trust his young bride--the fate of his family and blood band balances on the edge of a blade, and he can't decide if Helga will be their salvation or the death of him.
With the king manipulating their moves, frost giants swarming the walls, and a shadow army rising, these reluctant allies must put aside their sorrow and prejudices before Elderwatch is consumed in the fires of war.
Their only hope is a weapon born of nightmares that will spell their ruin.
Readers who love the mythology of Marvel's Thor, the swoony but emotional romance of Tara Grayce, and the high stakes of Leigh Bardugo will devour Death Daughter, the prequel to Everly Haywood's Between Shade and Flame series.
Early Review Copies of this young adult romantasy with only one bed and a spy the size of a teacup are currently available on Booksprout.

About the author
Everly Haywood
12 books195 followersEverly Haywood imagines herself to be a shieldmaiden of great prowess…but you’re more likely to find her in a dusty library than on the battlefield slaying monsters from the underworld. She seeks to combine dark fantasy worlds with clean, sweet romance. She loves strong but sweet leading ladies and smoldering, tragic heroes, and if a dragon is thrown into the mix? That’s nearly perfection.
When she isn’t writing, Everly creates lovelies for her cover design business, homeschools her prissy Princess-in-the-Pea, and advocates for her special-needs Warrior Princess. She and her Knight in Shining Armor live in the country with their two daughters and their protective dog nanny.
Happy reading, and may your dragons fly true.
