Seven Shards.
A shattered world.
Magic fades; hope must be restored.
When trust shatters, only the broken can mend the world.
Uriel Wilson thought she knew her world-until the Crystal Tree, source of all magic and life, began to wither, and the sacred Shards that keep it alive were stolen. Hunted by shadowy forces and betrayed by those she trusted most, Uriel must race against time to reclaim the seven Shards scattered across a land on the brink of ruin.
With allies she can barely trust, including the enigmatic Ariande and the fierce hunter Elara, Uriel dives into a perilous journey through forgotten realms, ancient prophecies, and a creeping darkness that threatens to consume everything. But when betrayal cuts deeper than any blade and enemies wear the faces of friends, Uriel will discover that the true battle is not just for the world's survival-but for her own shattered heart.
As the lines between friend and foe blur, Uriel must choose: save the world, or save herself.
When the fate of everything rests on fragile shards of hope, can a broken soul piece it all back together before it's too late?
