Rise

In a kingdom oppressed by the tyrant king Morlet, sixteen-year-old Kaia unknowingly holds the key to a lost legacy as the last living descendant of the magical Order of the Krigers. Drawn into a perilous world of rebellion and dark magic, she finds herself at the center of a conflict between Morlet, who is inexplicably drawn to her, and Anders, a fierce assassin sworn to protect her. As Kaia's powers awaken, she faces a harrowing choice: become a pawn in a dangerous game or embrace her fate as a queen ready to reclaim her kingdom. With betrayal lurking at every turn, her path will ultimately shape not just her destiny, but the fate of all Nelebek.
