About this book
A darkness is creeping across the Nine Kingdoms, and the only hope lies with an ancient prophecy—and a woman with magic in her blood who's never asked for any of this. Morgan finds herself thrust into a world of dragons, mages, and legendary swords, where she must learn to harness powers she barely understands to face a darkness that threatens everything. Along the way, she'll discover that some battles can't be won with steel alone, and that love might be the most transformative magic of all. If you crave epic fantasy romance with lush worldbuilding and a heroine who grows into her destiny, this is the sweeping beginning you've been waiting for.
