Princess of the Ashes

Magic exists in the land of Espia, but only a select few can use it. Good and evil alike harness its power based on the ancient God of the Darkness and the Goddess of the Light. The Light grants those who are deemed worthy, while the Darkness grants those who pledge their lives forever.

Elia has been told her whole life that she was gifted. She was born into the Emberon House, the only bloodline that has ever been able to tame the wild dragons that roam the mountains outside of her town, Vulaira. Goddess Iena herself had blessed Elia with magic when she was born: but not just any magic, the kind that would save her world from the evil darkness that wishes to consume it.

Despite all the legends, her magic has never shown itself. No matter how hard she prays or how hard she tries, it's as if she has no gift at all. When the Dark Ones make their way into the one place she calls home, she must find a way to survive and fight back. If she dies, the gift of the dragon rider dies with her.
