A new fantasy series from David Annandale, now available for pre-order! Eloran is a world of imperious elves, fractious human realms, and the hated, skeletal kaul—with each nation poised to grasp at any advantage over the others. As @princejvstin.com taught me: Preorders are Love. shorturl.at/zubLi
