Alys was supposed to be one of the good guys.
Smart, strategic, and skilled with elemental magic, she joined the hero's squad to save the world. But being the only girl on a team of golden boys meant being sidelined, ignored, and underestimated-no matter how often she saved their lives. Her ideas were stolen. Her victories were dismissed. Her pain is invisible.
Until one night, Alys walks away.
And into the arms of the enemy.
The villainous Syndicate doesn't see her as a burden. They see her as a weapon. They praise her, protect her, elevate her. For the first time, Alys feels seen.
But switching sides has a cost. As war nears its climax, Alys must choose: vengeance or justice? Loyalty or power? And most of all-who she is, now that she's finally being heard.

A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own.
