A prophecy at stake. Her heart torn between two men. Will Cahra unleash the strength and dark magicks inside her before its too late
When Cahra, a young blacksmith, is commissioned to forge a sword but with no family emblem given, she uses her imagination to design a symbol. But this symbol invokes an age-old prophecy and awakens Hael an immortal with the power to shape or shatter worlds sealed away in a chamber deep in Haelstromia, the lost capital at the heart of a civil war between three kingdoms.
When her role in the prophecy is discovered, Cahra must flee her kingdom with the very stranger who commissioned the sword. But what does she truly know about the handsome and charming noble, Terryl
As events unfold, Cahra is drawn ever closer to Hael, who visits and beguiles her in her dreams. With tyrant kings vying to capture Hael and wield him as a weapon, can Cahra free him in time to save the empire
A sizzling, action-packed romantasy, perfect for fans of The North Wind, Throne of Glass and The Book of Azriel.
