Description

She was built to protect everyone except herself.

Erelle has spent her whole life sharpening the edges of her duty, preparing for a crown that was never truly hers to wear. When the Raven, ancient, ruthless, and rotting beautifully at the edges of her own madness; strips her of everything she was promised and hands it to another, Erelle is left with nothing but the weight of a purpose that no longer has a name.

She tells herself that is enough.

It isn't.

When she finally comes home, she finds one word waiting for her. Beautifully written. Carefully placed. Next to rotting fruit in an empty house.
Soon.

The White Rook is a dark fantasy novella for readers who want their hope served cold, their heroines complicated, and their hearts broken quietly, long after the last page.
