About this book

Elspeth is ready to prove herself as both Herald and future queen of Valdemar, but there's just one problem—the kingdom's powerful magic has vanished, and she's the only one who might be able to bring it back. Desperate to find a mentor who can teach her to unlock her dormant mage abilities, she sets out on a journey that will test everything she thought she knew about herself and her destiny. What unfolds is a thrilling quest full of discovery, where Elspeth must learn to trust her instincts and embrace powers she never knew she possessed. If you love stories about capable heroines stepping into their power with the help of unexpected allies, this is absolutely the book for you!
