Soul Forge (The Shadowed Crown series)

When the world becomes dark, can you be the light?
Elda Gild is next in line for the throne, betrothed to a monster that wants her crown, and a pawn for a father who is king first, family second. Doomed to a short, painful life at the hands of the ambitious Lord Rhydian Horthan, all seems lost.
When the Soul Forge steps into Elda’s path, everything changes. The Spirits have claimed her as their champion, but her new mentor is hiding a dark secret and an even darker past.
Will Elda have the strength to fix a broken soul? Or will Valerus burn?
