10 parts Ongoing Sixteen-year-old Frey Wishener has spent her life feeling like an outsider in the quiet mountain village of Highbrink-until the ancient Emberlight Stone ignites at her touch and names her one of the Chosen. Now bound by fate and magic she barely understands, Frey must leave her home at dawn and begin the perilous journey that all Chosen must undertake.
But magic is a harsh teacher.
On her first night beyond the village, Frey learns through fear, instinct, and near-disaster that her power responds to emotion-not will. She escapes a deadly encounter only to stumble into three argumentative dwarves who unexpectedly come to her aid...and then insist on joining her quest.
As Frey travels deeper into the wildlands, she will cross paths with a silver-eyed elf driven by prophecy, a shapeshifter with a haunted past, and an assassin whose loyalty is as mysterious as his blades. Piece by piece, her mismatched allies unite around her as danger closes in on all sides.
Whispers spread across the realms:
A Wishener walks again.
A Chosen with untempered power.
A spark that could either save the world-or burn it to ash.
To survive, Frey must learn fast-through books, scars, and the hard lessons the world carves into her. And somewhere out there, an ancient force is watching...waiting for the moment her power slips.
Because being chosen is not a gift.
It is a target.
