In a world on the brink of legend, Megan's life is irrevocably altered when her father, a noble and selfless warrior, perishes in the War of the Icemen, a brutal conflict that has ravaged the land. Though Megan was too young to recall his face, tales of his bravery and sacrifice are woven into her upbringing, his memory preserved only by a single, cherished photograph. As Megan grows, the weight of her father's legacy becomes too much to bear, driving her into a life of recklessness and despair. A near-fatal accident leaves her in a coma for six months, and when she awakens, she finds her world in ruins-her mother has vanished, committed to a mental institution, and her family ties are all but severed. Seeking refuge, Megan returns to the lighthouse by the sea, a place her father once adored, where the waves and winds seem to whisper ancient secrets. There, she learns the true story of her father's death from his closest friend, Richard, who reveals a vision he witnessed on the battlefield. He saw Megan's father's spirit rise from his fallen body and vanish into the ether, a sight they all dismissed as the hallucination of a mind teetering on the edge of death. Yet Richard, ever loyal, has remained by Megan's side, a living reminder of her father's sacrifice. As Megan delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding her father's death, she uncovers hidden truths that stretch beyond the mortal world. The vision Richard saw was not a mere trick of the dying mind but a sign of something far greater-a connection to ancient powers long forgotten but still very much alive. Drawn into a realm where myths walk the earth, Megan must confront her own inner demons and the legacy of a man who may have been more than just a warrior. As the boundaries between the human and the divine blur, she embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth of her father's fate and her own destiny, one that could alter the fabric of her world forever.

Anna Holland is a college freshman with strange empathic psychic powers that she has managed to keep hidden. She senses auras, feels what others feel as though she feels them herself, and has powerful intuitions that she is inclined to follow. Unfortunately, one of these strong urges leads her to being sucked into another universe where she is at the mercy of a dangerous warlord who calls her a mage and claims to have been waiting for her. 🏅1st Place- Fantasy-🌸 The 2023 Flower Awards🌸 🏅1st Place- Fantasy-⚔️The Katana Awards⚔️ 🥈2nd Place- Fantasy- Serenity Book Awards 🥈2nd Place- Best Protagonist- Fluorescence Awards 🥉3rd Place- Fantasy- The Prime Awards 2023 ______________________________________________________ Excerpt: Anna felt the stabbing pain from her back to her chest. She felt his surprise. She felt his light extinguish as he died. Then there was nothing. Nothing. Her head was swimming like it was underwater. She couldn't move. She couldn't move. Her vision blurred, a man was speaking but she couldn't hear his words. She felt the sword in her chest, but it wasn't there. He killed him. He killed him. Breathe. Did she stop? Breathe. The man, she could hear him speaking. What was he saying? Breathe. She inhaled a deep breath. And another. Then another. Things started to clear. "Breathe. That's right," the warrior coaxed. She started to take another settling breath, and his face came more into focus. The first thing she noticed was his piercing green eyes. She had never seen eyes quite like that before. She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised. Anna knew better than to believe him. What was it he had said? Oh. "You...you said...you said 'no witnesses'." She was shaking violently. She took another deep breath. "Ah, " he uttered in acknowledgment. "You are not a witness, you are the treasure
