Beyond the Wildwood

Beyond the Wildwood Two kingdoms. One poisoned destiny. Can love triumph over betrayal? Elian, King of Elysium, carries the weight of a crown—and the scars of a heart broken by treachery. Once ensnared by the enigmatic Woman of the Wildwood, he has vowed never to let love weaken him again. But when an envoy from the mysterious Moonlit Kingdom arrives with a proposal of alliance through marriage, Elian faces a choice that could unite their lands—or reopen the wounds of his past. Jin Daiyu, daughter of the cunning Emperor Jin Xian, is as much a pawn in her father's political games as she is a princess. Bound by duty yet yearning for freedom, she agrees to the marriage, determined to prove her worth in a world of shifting loyalties and dangerous secrets. But as whispers of betrayal echo in the courts of both kingdoms, Daiyu discovers that the greatest threat may come from within. Just as a fragile bond begins to grow between them, treachery strikes. A poisoned blade shatters their hopes, leaving Elian to confront a devastating question: was Daiyu's father behind the attack, or an enemy hiding in plain sight? With kingdoms at the brink of war and love hanging by a thread, Elian and Daiyu must face trials that will test their courage, trust, and the depths of their hearts. In a world where alliances are forged in deceit and love comes at the highest cost, can two hearts find their way back to each other before it's too late? Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Natasha Ngan, Beyond the Wildwood weaves a tale of romance, intrigue, and sacrifice that will leave you breathless.
