A grieving blacksmith fighting for revenge. A tortured rebel fighting for freedom. A ruthless king out to destroy them both.
Three years after the loss of her mother and sister, Alvara survives through endless hours at the forge, training with her spear, and consuming what some would consider too much sugar.
When she is tasked with delivering a sword to another kingdom, she expects the worst part of her journey to be traveling alongside the elf who broke her heart.
…not finding herself imprisoned in King Einar’s dungeon. And learning he was responsible for her sister’s death.
To avenge her family, Alvara must join the growing resistance and train with a handsome rebel leader, who isn’t at all what he seems, 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.
Even more dangerous is her discovery that she may have found something—or someone—worth living for.
Forged in Fading is the first book in this slow-burn, Nordic-inspired, epic romantic fantasy series, Bones of Kings. Perfect for fans of the slow-burn romance and immersive world-building of Daughter of No Worlds and the heart and humor of Paladin's Grace.

About Madeline Haiston
Madeline Haiston is a fantasy 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 handcrafting 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.
