Shadows of the Divide

At Winchester Academy, the future rulers of Aetheria are trained to lead.

Kings. Queens. Heirs. Warriors.

And Ella Cadman was never supposed to stand among them.

Found alone as a child and raised within the academy walls by the mysterious headmaster, Ella has spent her life hiding in the shadows. While the heirs of the kingdoms fight over politics, power, and bloodlines, she trains for only one thing - survival.

But when a deadly creature attacks the rulers themselves, Ella is the only one capable of stopping it.

Now the kingdoms are watching her.

And so is he.

Liam is dangerous, secretive, and far too interested in the girl who should have died that night. As darkness spreads beyond the wall surrounding Aetheria, ancient tensions between kingdoms begin to fracture completely.

Because a prophecy is rising.

One that speaks of a child born beneath the wildflowers. A child capable of either saving Aetheria... or destroying it.

And for the first time in her life, Ella is no longer hidden in the shadows.

She's standing directly in the path of war.
