cranberries | amber | spiced black tea | sun-warmed forest
The smell of escaping into the woods- married with tart cranberries, earthy amber, and the comfort of spiced tea. A bottled warmth, like the radiant, golden sun shining no matter what attempts to conceal it. Will you step into the light?
“I was a hopeless romantic with a cynic’s heart. I adored the idea of love, found it to be the most precious of gifts. I reveled in the joy of those lost to it, celebrated the intricacies of anyone who had been lucky enough to match their soul with another and dance among the stars.
I just never thought it would be something I would experience.”
― K.B. Elizabeth, Ballad of Whispers

About the book
Ballad of Whispers
Iris Virlana lives by two rules:
Never let anyone know who you are.
And never, ever, get yourself into a life debt.
The golden sun inked beneath the base of her neck is the reason for both.
In Altaerra, it meant life as a Sunchosen, one of the twenty children branded by the Goddesses at birth to sit on the council ruling Altaerra. For Iris, it meant a fate confined in a glittering cage, forged and warped by power.
Considered a traitor to the Divine after escaping the Bronze Palace as a child, Iris knows maintaining her new life as an apothecary apprentice to the woman who saved her relies on remaining hidden. But when a life debt forces her to work with an icy prince to uncover answers about a plague ravaging both realms-Iris must navigate maintaining the ruse of who she is, desperately searching for a cure, and a kingdom rife with political scheming.
As the death toll rises, precarious matters of the heart become entangled, and carefully kept secrets begin to unravel...
Will she ever truly escape the power-hungry brutality of the life she fled?
Ballad of Whispers is a debut romantic fantasy novel and the first installment in The Sunchosen Chronicles: a new series full of whimsical world building, intricate magic, deadly secrets, profound journeys of self-discovery, and epic relationships.
