The Fox Lord’s Offering

di Selene Vale (Autore)

Selene Vale, 2026

Liora Fenwick is sent up a storm-soaked mountain as a human sacrifice. The fox lord who is supposed to claim her takes one look at the red cord around her wrist—and tells her to go home. There is only one problem: if Liora returns, her family may lose everything. Seron Vale, the feared half-fox lord of Branvale, insists he never demanded an offering. He wants nothing to do with Dunwick, its superstitions, or the human officials waiting for an excuse to interfere with his mountain. But the old red cords hidden in his manor tell Liora that she is far from the first woman sent to him. A village record keeper and licensed herbalist, Liora refuses to become another name that disappears from the books. She bargains her way into a paid position at Ashglass Manor and begins tracing the truth behind the sacrifices, her family's threatened land, and the strange damage appearing along Branvale's magical boundaries. Working beside Seron is supposed to be temporary. Instead, shared ledgers become shared patrols. Arguments become trust. Two cups of tea begin appearing where there used to be one. And the dangerous fox lord Liora was taught to fear proves far more complicated than the legend built around him. But someone benefits from keeping Branvale isolated, its records confused, and its people afraid. The closer Liora gets to the truth, the more she risks drawing powerful attention to the mountain—and the more difficult it becomes to separate the future she wants from the man she was never supposed to survive meeting. A slow-burn fantasy romance filled with forced proximity, magical mystery, political intrigue, a capable heroine, a brooding fox-shifter lord, and a love story built on choice rather than fate. Liora was sent to Branvale as an offering. Staying may become the first thing she chooses entirely for herself.
