The Fractured Realms. The Fifth Kingdom, #7

Book 7: The Fractured RealmsBy Brinda PhokeerdassThe war has ended, but the world is not healed. The elemental realms lie in ruin, divided by hunger, fear, and silent conspiracies. Kael, once a symbol of unity, now wanders through the wreckage of a broken age, searching not for victory-but for meaning. Rumors spread of the Fifth Shards-primordial echoes of creation with the power to mend or annihilate reality.
Cults rise, fanatics gather, and old powers stir beneath mountains and seas. As Kael's own elemental connection continues to fail, he stumbles across a revelation that reframes everything: the war was not the end-it was the catalyst. The world fractured once. It may not survive a second breaking.
