What if the power of Creation fell into the wrong hands?

In a land where free thought is heresy and salvation is political, thirteen-year-old Awen Fetherlinge hides a forbidden gift she barely understands. When a deadly blight begins to rot the Holy Kingdom, her secret—and her life—are no longer her own.

Pursued by zealots and revolutionaries alike, Awen finds unlikely allies in the wilds of the Darklands, the ivory halls of the lorestead, and even the realms of death itself. But as the world around her fractures, Awen must decide whether to live by the story others have written for her, or claim a truth all her own—one powerful enough to shatter a kingdom.
