You'll get swept away in a high-stakes adventure with emotional depth and a satisfying slow-burn romance.

Synopsis

Reeling from loss, Princess Elana Sable of Adrithia is thrust into a world of politics and war she’s woefully unprepared for. She finds herself more isolated than ever when she sends her sister, Aislinn, on an important mission for the kingdom. With few people left to trust, she seeks help from Prince Aidan of Ocarin in discovering who is attacking the continent. Their journey for answers takes them to the kingdom of Aaranor, where they must pass dangerous trials to gain entry to the Great Archives. Time is running short, and there’s more than books to discover in the ancient library. Will they find what they need to unite the kingdoms? Meanwhile, Aislinn’s misadventures take her to a place she never imagined she’d be…in the middle of an enemy’s war camp. For the first time in her life, she’s forced to confront her own weaknesses as she struggles to survive. She receives help from some unexpected allies as she fights to make it back to her family. War is no longer brewing, it’s here, and the heirs of Astrellia are about to learn exactly who they’re up against.
