The Source of Storms (The Stormbound, #1)

To belong is to survive. To be different is to be in danger. But to be more myth than human may be Halja’s greatest power.

Born the daughter of a selkie, Halja is condemned by the folklore of Elvik. Fae-touched, marked by ancient fae influence, she is an outsider—one destined to be hunted. But when she meets Byrgir, a mysterious stranger who sees past her fae-touched appearance, and Eilith, a wise Sourcerer who takes her under her wing, Halja’s world shifts.

Yet, danger is never far. A fanatical High Priestess has set her sights on the fae-touched, blaming them for the monsters that plague the realm. With the king’s ear and the power of an ancient god at her back, she will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who stands in her way. Including Eilith.

Caught in the crossfire, Halja must unlock the full potential of her shapeshifting power—fighting not only to save those she loves but also to protect the fragile future she’s begun to imagine with Byrgir. When myths come alive and ancient conflicts threaten everything, will she choose survival... or the power to change the world?

The Source of Storms is the epic, soulful first installment in The Stormbound Series—a tale of love, magic, and rebellion that fans of Rachel Gillig’s lyrical prose, the thrilling adventures of The Witcher, and the fierce fury of John Gwynne won’t be able to put down.
