Daughter of Alturium: A slow burn romantasy of vows, relics, and the price of duty. (A Tenebrea Origins Novel #1)

A slow-burn fae–human, forbidden-love romantasy that will leave you breathless.

Alturia of Alturium was anointed to serve her people—not to fall for a human. When Eligere raids turn border villages to ash and girls vanish into the night, Alturia refuses to stand at a distance. In the camps beyond Emberreach, she turns knowledge into action and quiet power into rescue—one life at a time.

A wary alliance once tied Mick Hewson to her world. Now he’s a human medical-student moving between Bestonia’s towers and the borderlands, where a single misstep can cost a life. He shouldn’t be hers. She can’t be his. Still, the space between them hums with everything unsaid—hands that linger, vows that hold, a breath’s width that feels like a promise.
Evidence points higher than anyone dares to say—and straight into the halls of power. Alturia brings what she finds to Tenebrea’s court, where loyalties fracture, sentences fall, and a duchess learns what it costs to speak the truth.

Guided by the Oracle and a forbidden Alturium portal, Alturia takes the fight into Bestonia to bring stolen girls home. Every rescue paints a target on their backs—and every choice forces her to decide what kind of leader, and what kind of lover, she’s willing to be.

If she relents to the only thing she truly desires—to be his for all eternity—peace will pay the price.
