A Ballad for the Broken; Hazel S. Wilkes | Signed Bookplate with Bookmark and Artwork Paperback Edition (Cadence of the Fallen Book 2) (pre-order)

Lyra is gone. Draven is desperate. Bathara must rebuild in the ashes of its ruin.

Upon awakening in a foreign place she does not recognize, Lyra Izacalli faces the cold reality of her capture, demanding answers she does not easily receive—the ways of the world slowly shifting beneath her feet as everything she thought she knew is tested through her new surroundings.

Draven Dalmar searches tirelessly to bring Lyra home. Yet it seems every force in existence is working against him. Defeated yet not losing hope, he is forced to maneuver through a series of choices that could change everything as he knows it, soon learning the cost of Lyra’s freedom may just be his very own chains.

All the while, shifting circumstances bring some relationships closer together—despite tearing others apart. Secrets emerge from the forgotten shadows. Cruel games are played. And betrayal stains the horizon. Yet through it all, one thing remains true…

A girl who refuses to be a pawn does not simply lie down and give in.

She fights back.

A Ballad for the Broken is the second book in the richly imaginative Cadence of the Fallen series, perfect for fans of complex characters, political intrigue, found family, and sweeping romance.
