Book Description

At the onset of her training, they'd all but anointed Vera the Chosen One. Their hero who would retrieve the ancient relic, the ember, capable of ending their banishment and returning the Skyborne to their beloved home realm, Idia. Yet, ten years later, her development halted. Vera had only a hairsbreadth more than the Common Power. They'd expected more from her. If she'd failed, it didn't matter. She was their tool. But Vera's know-how and prowess proved undefeatable. Now free from the confines of a life shrouded with danger, secrets and those whose only goal is to use her; she faces a new challenge. The ember has chosen her. And this time, the consequences are far more lethal. Something is awry in the Realm of the Banished. The Swath is expanding. Unrest permeates the territories. Regent Karish's handsome son is out for revenge after discovering Vera's betrayal. The ember is missing, and a mad healer is breeding an aerial army of creatures capable of blocking the Skyborne from the Common Power. With skepticism clouding her vision, she is torn between accepting her fate and losing the freedom she fought so valiantly to attain. Her unexpected tie to this ancient and powerful relic catapults her down a path she never believed in and will force her to reveal long-hidden truths and prove to herself that she can achieve the impossible.
