Eamonn never wanted to be a thief. So when a risky mission goes awry and he receives the chance of a lifetime, he leaves behind everything, even his newfound family in the Thieves’ Guild, to pursue an apprenticeship as an honest merchant. Traveling the country means he sees and hears everything. Civil unrest, rebellions against the monarchies, and rumors of a usurper bent on uniting the provinces under himself with a mythical form of magic. Few suspect he’s not chasing a dead end, including village girl Leyna, a believer in the magic of ancient histories. Eamonn’s skeptical heart is also swayed once he finds himself the tyrant’s target, unknowingly possessing the key to harness the dangerous power. To protect it, Eamonn’s only choice is to flee. But now that it’s the mission of his former brothers in the Guild to hunt him down, keeping magic out of their hands might be harder than either Leyna or Eamonn thought possible. If they fall, though, their world does too.

Armies gather. Dark magic stirs. A renewed threat stands at the heart of it all. After Eamonn’s captivity and Leyna’s daring rescue, both long to return to a normal life. Their peace is short-lived when a new amulet emerges—powered by Eamonn’s blood and wielded by Rothgard, who they presumed to be dead. As Rothgard seizes control of the provinces, Eamonn is determined to make up for his failures by visiting the magical realm of Avaria. While learning more about his newly discovered heritage, Eamonn contends with the darker side of his power—and what he’s willing to risk for revenge. With new alliances come greater challenges and deeper betrayals. Eamonn and Leyna find themselves torn between love and vengeance while the future of their country hangs in the balance.

In Taiamen, where worth is measured by bloodline, and power is held by the elite, an outsider carries the spark that can shatter an empire built on cruelty and silence. Kenna has spent her life unseen. Forced to protect her siblings under the violent hand of her adoptive father in the starving district of Madyor, she has learned to trade pieces of herself just to live. Her world is one of endless work, sacrifice, and bruises, until one day, rage burns hotter than her fear, and a brilliant light erupts from her body, awakening something ancient and terrifying, and forcing her and her best friend, Zander, to escape into the world outside the only home they know. Now hunted by the government, Kenna discovers she's not just any Conjurer—she's a Dominum, the first in five hundred years to wield all four elements. But Kenna doesn’t feel powerful; instead she feels like a woman with ashes and guilt on her hands. Haunted by fear of what she is and what she must become, Kenna must choose whether to keep running from her power or embrace it—even if it consumes her. When Her Power Awakens is a saga of survival and sacrifice, where reluctant heroes are forged in fire and loyalty is tested against the pull of destiny. Threaded with slow-burn romance, enemies-to-lovers tension, and the fierce bonds of found family, it explores the fragile line between devotion and betrayal, illusion and truth. Lush landscapes, elemental magic, and the relentless echo of prophecy will whisk you into realms both perilous and enchanted. Readers who have lost themselves in the epic sweep of Sarah J. Maas or Helen Scheuerer will discover a kindred world as their protagonists gamble with loyalties, sorcery, and the daunting question of what it truly means to be chosen.

The palace is owed taxes. Alex Mauricio needs to pay it and keep her brother out of the army. It should be a simple exchange-her freedom for a clean slate. But nothing is simple when you can speak to animals in a kingdom that wants to use its dragons as weapons. As a handmaid, Alex expected the nobles' cruelty. What she didn't expect was catching the attention of the kingdom's ruthless ruler, who sees her gift as the key to controlling his prized dragons. Now trapped in a deadly game, Alex must survive trials to prove her worth or face consequences. As Alex fights for her freedom, she discovers that the greatest threat may not be the dragons she fears, but the humans who wish to rule them. With her family's fate hanging in the balance and a King who will stop at nothing to control her, Alex faces an impossible choice: refuse the king, and her family pays, or submit, and risk betraying the very creatures who have chosen to trust her.
