Savior. Sacrifice. Survivor. Rowan knows what she has to do: Harness her elemental magic, revive a lost titan, and restore the ebbing might of her forest home. But to increase her power, she must ally herself with long-standing enemies, those responsible for her father's death and the weakening of the woods. And she's not the only one to face the scant choices of a world at war. Across the Circle Sea, Marcon prepares for his first deployment as a soldier in the Army of Light, led by the famed Tali Silversword, one of the last remaining elemental champions. They return to Sanctuary, the battleground that claimed his parents' lives years before. Alongside Rowan and Marcon, the threads of fate wrap themselves around a dwarf desperate for redemption, an elf searching for his sister, and a nameless spirit witch fighting to survive. Explore a world of fading elemental magic, secret heroes, and brimming war in this enthralling first-in-series dark fantasy epic with themes of destiny, found family, and inner power.
