The Novels of Amy Harmon. The First Daughter

The lands of Saylok are cursed. In those regions, girls are not born. Alba is the first and only daughter born in Saylok in almost two decades. The secret of her origins is known only to the king, who achieved the throne through lies, murder, and betrayal.

The king raises Alba as his own daughter. From childhood, the princess is guarded by the best warriors. Among them is Bayr, a quiet young man endowed with inhuman strength. Alba grows up feeling his care even from a distance when Bayr fights against the enemies of his clan.

She dreams of Bayr and awaits his return from war. But the king prepares a different fate for them. Alba and Bayr become too dangerous; their union could strip the king of his power and position. Can their love break the curse of Saylok and the magic of the runes to defeat the king?
