An undercover operative on the run.
A wild fae with a vendetta against her family.
And an entangled plot to retake the faerie wilds.
Nothing good ever happens in a back alley, I’ve learned. Except for when taking down a shadow market man for the rebel order. Truly, an exhilarating experience.
But when a motherly elf appears after a mission and declares I must leave if I wish to survive—and leave with Kalen Kelly, no less, a former wild fae Seren thief and suspected smuggler—I start to question my once very sound mind. More so when she adds that my fate also belongs in the last Greenwood Wilds of Carran.
Laughable, really. Wild fae do not return to the Greenwood. Not if they wish to survive, that is.
Naturally, I dismiss the encounter . . . until the soldier hunting me, the one I faked my own death to escape, finds me in the tavern where I work undercover. The tavern Kalen just happens to walk into minutes later. And now I have two options:
- Seduce Kalen, then drug him to sneak onto his boat with my cat.
- Run to the next big town and, once more, hide the government documents I stole.
Against all my training, I choose the thief. And saints, Kalen Kelly is the most infuriating, outrageously flirtatious, strategic game I have ever played.
The elf in the back alley lied.
My heart most certainly will not survive the dangerous rhythm of his. I’m starting to fear I may not survive crossing into the Greenwood either.
THE WILD DAUGHTER is the first installment in the Last Greenwood Wilds Duet, part of the Bound by Raven Novel interconnected standalone series, and perfect for fans of:

PLEASE NOTE:
While you could read the Last Greenwood Wilds Duet on their own, they are part of an interconnected standalone series with characters and spoilers from the other Bound by Ravens Novel books. It is highly recommended to read BOUND BY RAVENS, where Kalen is first introduced. THE NIGHT MARKET will give you deeper insight into the Raven Folk too.
Bonus: BOUND BY RAVENS is a less than 250 pages quick read.
CONTENT CONSIDERATIONS
While these content moments are mostly mildly described and mostly off page, there is nothing mild or off page about this reality for many. Please put your mental health first.
- colonial themes of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
- military occupation and enforcement.
- brief off page references to child enslavement for the mines and factories.
- mildly-medium off page descriptions around the military slaughter of one’s parents and kin.
- trauma flashbacks.
- themes of mortal and faerie slavery with the Raven Folk.
- medium on and off page battle gore descriptions with mildly-medium described on-page deaths.
- fae are referred to as male/female (since they are not huMAN).
- swearing, but mostly in Irish slang. Though Kalen does use the word “fuck” far more liberally than other MMCs in this series.
- no on page sex scenes in duet one (kiss only), but there will be 2-3 in duet two.
- a sassy white cat named Rainbow Trout
- smeggsy Irish dialects in dialogue
- medium burn romance (this is a duet within an interconnected standalone series with a fated mates trope)
