An orphan from the territory of Oril, Elizabeth Hale has spent her life believing she needs no one. When Omar Methuen, a Mage of the Republic of Erae, arrives searching for children worthy of joining the Alessia Program, Elizabeth is offered a chance to become one of the Republic's elite soldiers.
To earn her place, she must survive a mysterious trial known as the Ikthan. Though she passes, something within the realm awakens and follows her home.
Far away, beneath the Vaelin Empire, the imprisoned Psion Galendil breaks and utters a prophecy foretelling a woman whose hands will both destroy a continent and bring lasting peace using the artifact Hal Uther.
As war engulfs Balrus and long-buried secrets begin to surface, Elizabeth finds herself drawn into a conflict far greater than she ever imagined. Pursued by powers she cannot yet understand and haunted by a realm that refuses to let her go, she must uncover the truth behind her past before the fate of the continent is decided for her.

Any wish. Sozo is one of the lucky chosen, but she has a secret: as an Omen -- cursed beings that can transform into monsters -- she's forbidden from competing. Discovery would mean her death. Can she hope to keep her identity a secret, let alone win the race, especially as the talented and sunny Naqi enters the picture? When Sozo is given an ultimatum, she has to choose: betray her Omen people, or betray the people who are slowly, surely, becoming like a family to her. --- WATTYS AWARD 2020 "Bar none, this was [Senior Editorial Specialist] Amanda's absolute favourite read from the Wattys this year. It makes you cry, just from pure, uncontainable joy, and the ending kept us reading until nearly 6am. Everything about this story is beautiful. We were astounded that anyone could create something so magnificent and moving and magical. This level of storytelling mastery will never not blow us away." [Word Count: 70,500]Complete
