“Asher loved her, but she was not his to love. They were both half-bloods.”
Exile by Rowena Cory Daniells
This sounds like a romance book but it’s not. It’s epic fantasy set in a secondary world. It’s the second book in the series but these characters are new. Daniells has romance as one element in her books so these are most likely a set of desperate lovers who are going to give problems to the primary characters. And nothing is guaranteed for secondary characters so my instinct is not to get too attached.

I thought of a romance. Glad you said it isn’t one. Your header is very interesting.

Hm…well in the case that it’s not romance, I will look into this book.
