Vessel of shadows

In a fractured world teetering on the brink of war, fifteen-year-old Charlie finds herself transported to Lythandra, a land where magic dictates power and the oppressed Beastkin live under the iron rule of human nobility. Enrolled in a prestigious magic academy, Charlie must navigate a landscape filled with dangerous alliances, rivalry, and betrayal, where friendship and loyalty are as fragile as the balance of power.

Unknown to most, Charlie is more than an outsider; she is the vessel for the spirit of Lukander, a legendary rebel leader whose ferocity once kindled hope among the Beastkin. Haunted by his dark legacy and the immense power she inherits, Charlie struggles to reconcile who she is with what she could become. As whispers of rebellion stir in the shadows and hidden enemies close in, Charlie's secrets threaten to endanger those she cares about most.

Now, with war on the horizon and the weight of two souls bearing down on her, Charlie must harness her powers and confront the past she never knew she carried-or risk losing not only her newfound friends, but her very humanity.

VESSEL OF SHADOWS is a sweeping tale of dark magic, loyalty, and the battle for identity, perfect for fans of high-stakes fantasy and emotional depth.
