They should not have let me live.
There are beautiful and peaceful places in this world. There is magic hiding just out of sight. There are girls who find love and build happy homes.
I was not born into a life of such glories.
I am nothing but an orphan left at the mercy of the Guilds. They destroy our homes and steal our land. They murder us without consequence.
There can be no hope in a land the Guilds control.
I am tired of waiting to die, of waiting for the Guilds to kill everyone I love. But there are people willing to fight back, and I will join them.
A man with magic beyond my belief has given me a chance to change my fate. If the cost is murder, then I will bear the blood on my hands. I will become the nightmare the monsters dread.
They should not have let me live. I will watch them all burn.

Ena of Ilbrea is a YA epic fantasy complete with a swoon-worthy paranormal romance. The four-book (and a novella) series follows Ena Ryeland―a powerful young woman made an orphan by the all-powerful, oppressive Guilds―as she transitions from illegal healer to deadly assassin.
This series features sibling rivalry, lgbtq+ characters, sorcery, elemental magic, class differences, and soul-rending love.
O'Russell, Megan: - Megan started writing when she discovered playing Cordelia in King Lear leaves you way too much time waiting backstage. She began her career as an author during an ill-fated trip to Oz. She hasn't stopped writing (even when living on a tour bus) since.Megan's wanderlust has led her all over the globe. When she's not planning her next escapade, she's diving into fantasy worlds where she doesn't have to worry about what rules she's supposed to follow or how many pairs of socks she can fit in her suitcase.Her latest series, Fracture Pact, finds seven teens pulling off the heist of the century to save magic. Psst...this book may feed on her love of Newport, RI, Manhattan, Las Vegas, mountains, and botanical gardens. Megan has a weakness for road trips. Having vampires, werewolves, mermaids, and hackers involved just adds to the excitement. Her love of storytelling has helped Megan weave her real-life exploits into eight different book series. From the epic fantasy world of Ilbrea to the paranormal dystopian romance of Girl of Glass, there is always a new way to escape into adventure.Megan would love to connect with you on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or TikTok but feels obliged to warn you in advance that you will be hearing about her cats...a lot.If you want to stay up to date on all Megan's books and adventures (and hear about her cats), you can find all her social media links, including where to sign up for her readers community, at: https: //linktr.ee/meganorussellFor Film / TV / Adaptation Inquiries: Allen EckhouseLogical Talent Managementallen@logicaltalent.com
