Lindsey asked Maria V. Snyder:

Hello Maria! My question is what is the age difference between Valek and Yelena? In the first book it seems like they are 13+ years apart, and then now reading Shadow Study it seems they are only 4 years apart? I'm loving this series and I can't wait to read your other books!

Maria V. Snyder Hello Lindsey! They are 13 years apart - I'm pretty sure I kept that consistent throughout the series as I keep track of all the ages and timelines. In Shadow Study there are a number of flashbacks to Valek's past and in those, he goes from age 13 to when he fought the Ixian King at age 18. Could you message me where you saw that? If there's an error, I'd like it to be fixed in future printings! I'm glad you're enjoying the books!
