The Shadow of The Fallen

The Shattering of Elysara's Peace
For three thousand years, peace in Elysara has been maintained through a delicate balance of power among the Nine Great Houses. But that peace shatters the day two of their greatest champions, heirs of the Houses of Wind and Time, vanish without a trace during a secret mission.
As the great nations accuse one another and the world slides toward inevitable war, in the dizzying peaks of House Aetheria, a bastard named Elara survives in the shadows. Ignored by her lineage, she possesses an innate talent that connects her to the wind in a way no one can comprehend. The disappearance of her half-brother, the only person who treated her with kindness, thrusts her into the heart of the crisis.
In a world of intrigue, broken alliances, and border skirmishes, Elara must use her wits not only to survive but to prove her worth. But when a divine act interrupts the war and forces the houses into a truce, a new path emerges. The weapons of the lost champions have returned, and only a grand tournament can determine their new bearers. For Elara, it is an impossible opportunity. For the world, it is the beginning of the end.
