What if the strongest power lies within your heart? Astrid Sullivan is living her normal life in the mortal world when a mysterious forest pulls her into the magical realm of Equessara. There, she discovers that she is not a mere mortal-but a mage. A mage whose power is unlike anything the world has seen: untamed, unformed, and capable of creation or destruction. Under the watchful guidance of Cardinal Theus, the noble and enigmatic Cardinal Mage, Astrid begins to learn the ways of mana. But her awakening comes with a cost. Political tensions, guild rivalries, and the weight of prophecy surround her every step. And the closer she grows to Cardinal, the more she realizes that love itself can be a battlefield-one where hearts can be weapons, and choices can be fatal. As she struggles to master the limitless force within her, Astrid must face the ultimate question: Will she wield her power to protect those she loves-or will she become the force that destroys everything? Because in Equessara, the heart is the mightiest magic of all...and some powers come at the price of everything you hold dear All rights reserved: Aug. 2, 2020 Written by: Agassi-san Highest ranking: #20 - inspirational #19 - inspiration
