Elder: Judgment, Revenge, Rewriting Destiny

The Druids were the most powerful beings that dwelled in Verbenia until an Elite Faery from the north, cut them down, wielding a dark and unfamiliar magic. They lost many lives and plunged themselves into the safety of hiding.

Now, centuries after a period of peace, rumors of war rip through the winds and reach the ears of Eadha, a vengeful general of the savage Druid army. After years of plotting her revenge, she is fueled by wrath and will stop at nothing to see the death of those that tore her people from the light. However, an ancient, unknown force is lurking in the shadows.

If Eadha wants to stop this looming bloodshed, she must bring her people out from the darkness and bargain with her old enemies: the Fae. As she infiltrates each court in Verbenia, she soon realizes that no amount of training could have prepared her to open the wounds of her past, and that failure could hold lethal consequences.

In Jordon Genestki's debut novel, she takes us through the diverse lands of Verbenia on a journey of love, loss, friendship, and revenge. With her background in trauma and culturally informed research, we can see the very cultures of our world blossom within this fantasy realm, and experience the incredibly human struggles of how the past shapes who we are, and how we can overcome our future. As Eadha said it best: "To the years we have lost, and the future we'll conquer."
