Seli — Jonathan Kuiper

Twenty-five years after being overthrown, Sohon and his allies are done placating King Lane. Seeking to right a considered wrong, the deposed ruler sends his allies to avenge him. Caught in the crosshairs are none other than the current ruler of Perucica and the Great Mother's descendants.  With a worldwide pandemic underway, many are staying close to home and waiting for the virus to abate. Forced to choose between her family obligations and the love of her life, Selichah travels back to New Hampshire hopeful of one final reunion.  On her eighteenth birthday, Selichah's world unravels. What should be a joyous occasion with Kaylie, the nineteen-year-old daughter of Keira and one of the true guardians of the woodland realm is anything but. Both teens find themselves in a precarious situation. Running from their past and future, the two simply want to be together. Between illness, feuding parents, and the raging pig king, time is limited.  A continuation of the popular Luza series, this New Adult LGBTQ+ Contemporary Fantasy picks up many years after the events in Lane. This story dives deeper into the complicated lives these shifters face and the lives they live. These new adults simply want to be free to explore the world and be together, but their parents' actions from years earlier and the roles they play within the forest, make it almost impossible for that to happen. Warning: This book contains adult content specifically crude language, violence, and other adult situations.
