The Shattered Spire

She was never meant to break the world. On the night of the Sorting Ceremony, eighteen-year-old Amara expects to discover her place in the kingdom. Instead, she destroys it. When the ancient crystal spire-source of all magic-shatters beneath her touch, Amara is revealed as something impossible: dual-marked, wielding both healing and destruction. A power no one has ever survived. Now the Council is hunting her.
Not to save the realm-but to control it. Forced to flee with a guarded stranger who knows more than he admits, Amara uncovers a truth buried for centuries: the fall of the lost kingdom of Everael was no accident. and neither is she. To restore balance-and survive-Amara must face six deadly trials across a fractured world where forests think, shadows hunt, and truth is never what it seems. But power like hers doesn't come without a cost.
And some destinies aren't meant to be survived.
