An epic tale of time, sacrifice, and the courage to chase the unknown.
Thirteen-year-old Elara Quinn never meant to uncover a legend. But when she finds a mysterious map in her grandfather's attic - marked with cryptic symbols and a haunting phrase - she's thrust into a journey that defies reality. Guided by a silver-eyed fox and joined by her loyal friend Milo, Elara ventures into the Whispering Woods, descends a glowing hollow tree, and crosses into the Realm of Shifting Sands, where time stands still and secrets burn.
At the heart of it all lies the Ember Compass, a powerful artifact said to bend time itself. But its magic comes at a cost. As Elara faces trials of courage, truth, and sacrifice, she must choose between saving her grandfather and returning home - or becoming lost in time forever.
Told with lyrical prose and rich imagery, The Ember Compass is an adventure about friendship, legacy, and the maps we leave behind.

𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥 ✔ 𝑱𝑨𝑺𝑷𝑬𝑹 𝑯𝑨𝑳𝑬
𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥 Raven Swan has always lived in the quiet shadows of Forks, a town that seems too small for secrets, yet strange enough to hide them. At eighteen, she's spent her life under the roof of her father, attending high school and moving with her own circle of friends, never needing the Cullens, never wanting their attention. She knows them by name, has glimpsed them from a distance, and has felt the whispers of their strange presence-but she's never truly been part of their world. Raven is calm, observant, and quietly formidable. She doesn't need to prove herself; people notice because she is. Her mysterious aura makes her seem untouchable, but beneath the surface lies a heart that craves connection, even if she doesn't let it show. For decades, Alice Cullen kept a secret: a vision of a girl who didn't yet exist, destined to be the anchor for Jasper's war-torn soul. When Bella Swan arrives in Forks, it all started. The moment Raven finally gets paired in a project class with the Jasper Hale, the vision finally becomes a reality. As an empath who has spent a century drowning in the emotions of others, Jasper finds an impossible "calm" in Raven-a silent strength that challenges his control and offers him a peace he never thought he deserved. While their connection was foretold long ago, the path through the supernatural dangers of the Olympic Peninsula is anything but certain. Together, they must navigate the thin line between a predestined fate and the choice to love, proving that even the most turbulent heart can find its home in the one person Alice saw coming a lifetime ago.Complete
