Given: An Epic Romantasy - Paperback

by Elayna R. Gallea (Author)

In this slow-burn romantic fantasy, a young woman is hunted by a handsome stranger she could surely fall for . . . if only he weren't her sworn enemy.

Wren has always known she's a Given, marked by the gods to serve them in her twentieth year. And she accepts this honor eagerly because they keep the kingdom safe. But then she sneaks into her best friend's Giving Ceremony and watches as Amelia is slaughtered right before her eyes.

Horrified, Wren escapes her village under the cover of darkness. Her plan is simple: flee the kingdom and stay alive. And it's working--until she stumbles upon an injured, unconscious, beautiful man in the woods. Unwilling to leave him to die, she heals him. Only, when he wakes, she realizes he's a Hunter. And his prey? Her.

Marked Ones must be returned to the gods. It's the law. But now he's in Wren's debt. Inexplicably drawn to her and caught in a moral quandary, he gives her a gift: one day's head start. So despite their connection, all Wren can do is run. And when the Hunter catches her, she'll do whatever it takes to get away again . . .

This edition features a signed letter from the author, character art, and a map.
