Claudia Cain: Shadow Forged

Hidden beneath the quiet forests and forgotten legends of a secluded mountain town, an ancient war is beginning to stir.
When twelve-year-old Claudia Cain is sent to Idavoll, a secretive academy whispered about in old stories, she believes she is finally being given answers. Instead, she steps into a world layered with secrets, dangerous power, and truths that refuse to stay buried.
Bound to her fiercely loyal friend Bryn, Claudia is drawn into a struggle older than the school itself - a conflict awakening after centuries of silence, its gaze fixed on her for reasons she cannot yet understand. As the line between myth and reality collapses, each discovery reshapes not only who Claudia is, but who she may become.
Because some stories do not begin when they are told.
They begin when they are remembered.
