Invocation by Nina K. Westra

After a brush with death, Novikke awakens to a living nightmare.

The Ardanian army has released an ancient, deadly magic that is slowly but surely spreading across Aruna’s home, Kuda Varai. If it isn’t stopped in time, the entire forest could die—taking the night elves with it.
Novikke and Aruna set out for the night elf city of Vondh Rav to look for a way to save Kuda Varai. But visiting the city brings up uncomfortable memories of Novikke’s mistreatment at the hands of night elves. How can she reconcile her feelings for Aruna with her fear of his people?
Even as she and Aruna grow more intimate, she begins to dread the heartbreak that will inevitably follow their relationship.
A night elf and a human can’t have a future together, can they?
