Author LJ Claren made waves last fall with her debut novel, The Silversmith. The romantasy series-starter follows Ary hunting for truth about her family, herself, and stories of long-lost magic.

The series returns on September 8, and to celebrate, The Portalist has partnered with Bookouture to offer one grand-prize winner a physical copy of The Silversmith, while five others will receive a digital copy. Enter now and be all caught up before Ary and company return in The Incendiary!
About the Book
The Silversmith
She was born to save this world. But falling in love will destroy it.
Still reeling from the mysterious deaths of her father and brother, Ary Gold survives only by sheer will in the icy wilds of the North. But when strangers arrive with stories of long-lost magic, Ary is thrust into a fate far larger than her sorrow.
The realm of Nyrida is under threat. An ancient shadow wielder has risen, determined to plunge the world into corrupted darkness. And Ary is the only one who can stop him.
They say she has royal blood. That magic runs in her veins. That she is already promised in marriage—to a powerful commander whose army is her only hope of winning the coming war.
But her fiercest challenge will not be on the battlefield…
Assigned to shape her into a warrior is a man cloaked in violence and secrets. Cold, arrogant, and maddeningly unreadable, he isn’t her betrothed—but he may be her undoing…
Ary is powerless to resist the impossible attraction building between them. Will she follow her destiny? Or risk everything for a love as wild and dangerous as the power that’s awakening inside her?
