GALEBORN - Dan Filion

GALEBORN is a romantasy set in a re-imagined Land of Oz, where magic is ancient, power is inherited through blood, and nothing is ever without consequence.

Some legacies were never meant to stay buried.

Her grandmother's stories were supposed to be fairy tales. What Eliza Gale finds instead is a world that remembers her name, a darkness hunting her bloodline, and a man whose duty demands he see her as a threat.

One month after Dorothy Gale's death, a storm tears Eliza out of Kansas and drops her into Oz. The land that shaped her grandmother's impossible stories is real, and it has been waiting for her. Not with welcome but with urgency.

Kaelis, the last surviving member of the Watch, takes her into custody before he understands why Oz is reacting to her the way it does. By the time he does, something has already shifted between them, something neither of them asked for and neither can walk away from.

But something else is hunting her too. A darkness creeping from the West, searching for something it lost long ago. It doesn't know yet how close it is.

The truth buried in Eliza's blood will change everything for Oz, for Kaelis, and for the darkness that has been waiting just as long as the land has.

She didn't come to Oz looking for a destiny. Oz didn't give her a choice.
