When you've sacrificed your life, what more can you offer?
To save a kingdom, she must sacrifice her heart.
In a realm where loyalty is life and betrayal is death, the last Vhalgenn—a warrior bred to serve the king—faces an impossible choice. Duty and honor course through her veins, compelling her to answer the queen’s desperate plea to save the prince.
But as she embarks on a perilous journey to the queen’s homeland, where fairies and dragons once roamed, she uncovers dark secrets that threaten to shatter the kingdom. How can she reconcile her unwavering loyalty to the king she loves with loyalty to the babe she’s vowed to protect?
To fulfill her destiny, the Vhalgenn must confront a heart-wrenching truth: to shield her people, she may have to sacrifice everything she holds dear, including her own heart.
Epic dark fantasy adventure with mythical creatures, unbreakable bonds of loyalty, and layers of intrigue and betrayal.
Reviews
I enjoyed this book: the storyline was Heartbreaking. Doing anything for the one you love even try to save a baby that’s not yours but his. – Liz P
It’s the (bitter)sweetest short slice I’ve come across in a short story in a long time. I WANTED MORE. Ever read JR Ward’s STORY OF SON? If I could only pick one book, one book from ALL of hers, that’s the one. I’d reread it again and again. And The Last Vhalgenn had that spark, had the premise, and the skill to tell a story in short – NOT EASY AND HAVEN’T SEEN THAT A LONG TIME EITHER… – ReadMeAStory
What an outstanding story! I was hooked from the first page. The words just flowed together so delightful. I read the story so fast to see what was happening and the next thing I knew the end was there. – Karen

Kayelle Allen
Kayelle Allen writes sci-fi, space opera, romance, and gay romance. Does she write happy ever afters? Some stories require endings that offer happy-for-now, or hopeful-for-the-future. But all provide endings that satisfy, and never leave you dangling over a cliff.
She did a tour in the US Navy, where she climbed around airplanes (on the ground, thankfully) fixing black boxes that helped pilots find their way home. Kayelle wrote her first science fiction novel at eighteen and to this day, she hides it under the bed, where she vows it will remain. Gems from it, however, launched several series in her galaxy-wide universe of stories.
From childhood, Kayelle was the victim of an overactive imagination and inherited the Irish gift of gab from her mother. From her father, she got a healthy respect for mechanical things.
No wonder she writes Science Fiction and Fantasy peopled with misbehaving robots, mythic heroes, role playing immortal gamers, and warriors who purr. She’s been married so long she’s tenured.
