Blurb

What’s the strength of a soul? 

Elowynn’s life changed the day demons poured from the sky, ravaging her village and reducing it to rubble. As the only survivor, she’s dragged away from everything she knows. Wynn’s savior takes her to one of the last remaining settlements: a rebel base where she’s expected to join their ranks in exchange for her rescue. Alone and out of options, she tries to build a new life there. 

But Wynn wasn’t pulled from the wreckage unscathed—there’s something lurking inside of her that could either give her more power than ever imagined, or be her ruin. And as she reaches the culmination of her training, she faces one final test to prove she’s in control. When the unthinkable happens, Wynn is forced to choose between taking on an impossible assignment or forfeiting her life. 

Setting out with a mismatched band of expendable recruits, they’re given one mission: find the oracle with the knowledge to stop the dangerous magic that’s poisoning their world. Yet that is no simple task. The land is dangerous, the creatures that lurk even more so, and the rebels will have to put aside their differences if they have any hope of succeeding.

Not all truths are worth hearing, and some journeys are not meant to be taken. Wynn must decide how far she’s willing to go for a cause that is not as simple as it seems, as she struggles against the thing threatening her very soul.
