Hello, adventurer.
You are about to step into the world of Elendria.
In this book, you will walk through a world that is violent and unforgiving in its raw beauty. Elendria is shaped by war, hardship, and survival in a land where nature itself can be hostile, and the weather carries its own dangers. Death may come swiftly to those who are careless—and sometimes even to those who are not.
There are battles, and there is blood, though descriptions do not linger on graphic gore.
You will also encounter love in its many forms. This story contains sacred, open-door scenes of intimacy between consenting adults. These moments do not fade to black. While the language remains lyrical, the intimacy is on the page and central to the growth of the characters, their relationships, and, at times, the plot itself.
Finally, you will meet characters who carry heavy histories and deep wounds. Some forms of trauma are referenced in passing rather than depicted directly. These include the loss of a child, the cultural erasure of children born with disabilities, and the purging of those deemed “useless” by society.
If any of these themes give you pause, please take care of yourself and read at your own pace—or choose another path entirely. Elendria will still be here should you ever wish to return.
May your journey be a steady one.

"God Tier Read"
“This has turned into my favorite read, maybe ever. Definitely God Tier book for me.
The way Ravenna writes is melodic, lyrical, and forces you to slow down and savor it. You really get to know and understand the world and the characters.If you're looking for a book you can chew through in a day or two and hits all the usual romantasy points, this is not the book you're looking for. This story is a journey, an epic fantasy.
There aren't enough words to fully describe how much I enjoyed this story. I cannot wait to dive into book 2 to find out what happens. When I say I felt all the feels in this book- I cried, I laughed, I was so giddy I kicked my feet, I was at the edge of my seat, I was screaming.”

"EPIC"
“The best way for me to describe this book is epic. Epic romance, epic fantasy, epic world-building. While romance is central to the story, there’s still so much development going on outside of it.
I am actually obsessed with Auryn and how lyrical she is when she speaks. She’s literally my new role model as a disability rep! Even as she has the ailment you still go through the story like… is Kail protecting her or is she protecting him. Auryn is wonderful in showing that you can not be strong in the traditional sense and still be something so uplifting to others and show them that physical strength isn’t the only thing that matters.”- Ashlyn T, Goodreads

"The heart of fantasy"
“Breath of Starlight is, in my opinion, a perfect ode, tribute and addition to the true fantasy literary world. It is epic fantasy at its core, with a style of world building and tension which is far more reminiscent of the more traditional style of fantasy I grew up reading. Reading Breath of Starlight reminded me of epic fantasies like Lord of the Rings and The Wheel of Time and Mistborn, whilst holding its own and standing strong in its own right, alongside them.
Ravenna Vale has perfectly captured the heart and soul of the fantasy genre of old in Breath of Starlight, whilst masterfully avoiding the enjoyable, but overly played out tropes we see in much of mainstream fantasy these days, and still presenting her audience with a love story for the ages.”- AimzReads, Goodreads
