The Living Tower [PREVIEW]

[PREVIEW] Old stories tell of princesses locked away in towers, women who were supposed to reclaim their thrones and end wars. But in this world, the tower is more than it appears, the princess has no intentions of bringing peace, and the witch struggles to undo his mistakes.
***
Val has been held prisoner in her tower since she massacred twenty soldiers with her powerful magic. Ellias, the witch who taught her to wield her abilities, is desperately searching for a way to undo his mistake. The girl he'd hoped could stop the growing threat of war on Earth has grown into a deadly weapon.
He seeks a solution on the moon's Iron Citadel, a city built thanks to the magic of human soulspeakers. Under its surface lies the fae caverns and rumors of a powerful weapon. Ellias, unable to pursue the legend alone, enlists the help of the Iron Library's Salestia. With Salestia's knowledge and his magic, they have a chance to restore order.
But even those who claim to want peace are keeping secrets. And back on Earth, the tower has a secret of its own. If the right people can't learn to trust each other, a power-hungry king could bring an end to thousands of years of unity among humanity's civilizations.
