In a quiet village at the edge of the world, an eighteen-year-old girl walks barefoot across wooden floors and listens to the heartbeat of the earth. Rose has always been different. Her eyes change color with her emotions. The ground whispers beneath her feet. And when she sings, something ancient stirs. Far beyond her small village, knights, kings, and forgotten gods move in the shadows, hunting a power they call the Eternal Flame-a force that could save the realm... or destroy it. When fate brings a sworn knight and a dangerous rival into her life, Rose is forced to leave everything she knows behind and step into a destiny written long before she was born. But some powers are not meant to be owned. And some girls are not meant to be controlled. This is the beginning of a slow-burn fantasy saga about magic, loyalty, found family, and a girl who was never meant to be ordinary.
