Kaia Velaverde has barely recovered from the battle that nearly forced her to kill the man she loves when she is sent back into the fight. Now able to wield the telepathy she once believed impossible, Kaia is stationed in the Wilds, where Allende and Kadaron remain locked in a brutal stalemate.

But King Malek hasn’t forgotten the Egonite, and the threat of another Kadaron invasion looms over Allende. Though the nation is rebuilding with Leander’s help, its leaders know they cannot face Malek alone. Their best hope for an ally lies thousands of miles to the east in the nation of Eyre.

When Kaia is ordered to carry the Egonite to Eyre for safekeeping, she reluctantly agrees. For the first time in months, Kaia and Leander are reunited, with a chance to imagine a future beyond the war.

But beneath Eyre’s beauty lies a political struggle Kaia never expected to face. To protect Allende, Kaia may have to make a sacrifice she never imagined. And this time, saving the people she loves may mean giving up the one person she cannot bear to lose.

Splinter and Soul is the second book in the Heartweaver series. Fans of high-fantasy, political intrigue, enemies-to-lovers, and slow burn, spicy romance will enjoy this series.
