Yara has only ever known a life of duty, protecting the people of Cel'Fiore from the Abyss, the Realm of Demons. But when alarm bells warn her of an invasion, she finds not foul demons but vicious mortals attacking her village. Fleeing the horrors of humanity, she takes refuge in an abandoned tower hidden deep in the forest. 

But Yara isn't the only resident. The unnaturally beautiful statue that stood in the tower has awoken, and it now shadows her every step.

As the pair struggle to survive, a terrible secret threatens to shatter everything Yara has ever believed in. Forced to accept that saving everyone might be impossible, Yara comes to the devastating realisation that she'll have to make a choice. But to choose duty would be to cut out her own heart.

Hello! This is the ARC for the Ranger's Heart. You'll be reviewing a mostly finished copy* of the book in ebook format. The release date for the Ranger's Heart is November 11th. The book is around 470 pages (in paperback, standard UK size) in length.

You can tag me in your review, but you are not obliged to do so (my socials are: https://www.instagram.com/author.mvixen , https://bsky.app/profile/mvixen.co.uk , https://www.tumblr.com/m-vixen , https://www.tiktok.com/@m..vixen ). 

Please, do not use any form of AI in your book review or summary. I don't want my work associated with the theft of art, and am a firm believer in all artists being paid fairly. Additionally, I will absolutely lawyer up if I find out that you have fed my book into any form of LLM.

Otherwise, I hope you have a wonderful time reading!

* There should be minimal errors in this copy as it has been with my editor for all its edit rounds. However, I will still be doing a final check before release after the ARCs have gone out.

Note this book contains scenes that might be triggering for some people. Please treat yourself with love and care.
