Theeighth Stories

Vanessa never expected her ordinary life to change in a single night. One moment, she is in her bedroom on Earth. The next, a strange crack tears open in the air and pulls her into a world she has never heard of. Evarith. A world where seven powerful kingdoms compete for influence, beast-blooded people wield supernatural abilities through Beast Cores, and ancient creatures once thought to be nothing more than legends still exist beyond the known world. Lost in a dangerous forest with no idea how she got there, Vanessa quickly discovers that Evarith is nothing like home. Strange creatures hunt in the shadows. Powerful kingdoms have their own rivalries. Academies train the next generation of warriors and leaders. And somewhere beyond the borders of civilization lie the forbidden Ancient Lands, where secrets older than history remain buried. Then Vanessa's own Beast Core awakens. Except it isn't supposed to exist. Her power cannot be classified. Ancient symbols react to her presence. And the few people who recognize what they are seeing refuse to tell her the truth. As Vanessa is drawn deeper into the kingdoms of Evarith, she forms unlikely friendships, makes dangerous enemies, and finds herself caught between people who want to protect her, people who fear her, and people who want to discover exactly what she is. But Vanessa isn't the only one searching for answers. Someone has been waiting for her arrival. And somewhere in the forgotten history of Evarith, there is a secret that was deliberately erased. Seven kingdoms. Seven recognized Ancient Bloodlines. And something that was never meant to be remembered. The Eighth.
