Trapped in a tower by the emperor who conquered her homeland, Daella yearns for an escape. But as one of the few half-orcs left in the world, she knows she'll never be free, much less find her own happily ever after.
Destiny takes an unexpected turn when the emperor offers her a deal. To earn her freedom, she must journey to the mysterious Isles of Fable and track down wielders of outlawed dragon magic. Eager to seize her chance, Daella agrees.
When a brutal storm tosses her ship off course, she washes up on the wrong island—right at the feet of Rivelin, a gruff but handsome elven blacksmith, who seems more likely to stab her than help her. To her surprise, he offers her shelter until the next ship passes through in six weeks' time.
Daella soon realizes he's hiding something big. It could be the very magic she's been tasked to hunt down—the key to her long-awaited freedom. But as they bicker over the flames of his forge, her heart kindles with something she's never felt before.
When his secrets finally come to light, Daella must decide what's more important: her freedom from the wicked crown or the desires of her heart.
Forged by Magic is a stand-alone fantasy romance novel set in the whimsical world of Falling for Fables.

Cozy Pairings
Kraken is a deep and woodsy fragrance that blends weathered driftwood with rich tobacco and worn leather. Smooth and grounding, this scent carries a subtle saltiness balanced by warm, earthy notes that create a sense of depth and character. The combination feels both rugged and refined, with a softness that lingers in the air. Layered and atmospheric, it feels expansive while remaining warm and inviting.
Why we chose this: A world of islands and forges, traveling taverns and dragon magic, where people keep washing up in unexpected places and finding love and belonging before they had a chance to plan for it. Kraken carries the weathered, adventurous depth of a world where the sea keeps delivering people to exactly where they need to be, salt-worn driftwood and rich tobacco and aged leather that smells like a life lived in motion. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the open-water atmosphere fill the room like an island that appeared on no map you were given but feels, somehow, entirely familiar.
