Forged in Fading

A blacksmith fighting for revenge. A rebel fighting for freedom. A king out to destroy them both.

When Alvara delivers a sword to another kingdom, the last thing she expects is to find herself locked in King Einar’s dungeon.

And learn he was responsible for her sister’s death.

To avenge her family, she must join the growing movement against the power-hungry king and train to control the magic she has locked away
for so long.

As war looms and the fate of the five kingdoms hangs in the balance, Alvara is forced to confront her past or risk tearing herself and the rebellion apart.

Forged in Fading is the first book in this Nordic-inspired, slow-burn, epic fantasy romance series, Bones of Kings.

About the Author

Madeline Haiston is a fantasy romance author whose love for storytelling emerged from a bad habit of reading a book a day and losing herself in fictional worlds. When she’s not putting her linguistics degree to good use by hand-crafting names for her characters, she can be found baking, singing (even when her toddler tells her to stop), and exploring Colorado with her husband, two daughters, and their dogs.
