About the Book

A magnificent ship enters the harbor, unlike any Alex has seen. Its arrival sets off a chain of events that pull her from the quiet life she’s built and back into the shadows of her lineage. When emissaries deliver a letter from her dying mother, Alex must choose between silence and truth, exile and return. With the loyalty of her black stallion, Shadufax, and the unlikely strength of new companions, Alex faces the unraveling of secrets she once tried to bury. Laurel Run carries readers from the solitude of her cottage to the heart of a kingdom on the edge of ruin, weaving a story of power, memory, and the ties that survive even betrayal.
