A shattered world. A hidden legacy. A future forged in sacrifice.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“A really well-written start to a fantasy series that had me on the edge of my seat.”
— Reedsy Discovery
When the war ended eighteen years ago, it left more than scars—it severed the realm’s connection to magic. Now rot spreads through the soil, sickness devours the cities, and Arine’s father is dying because of it.
Desperate to save him, Arine sets out to find medicine, only to fall into the hands of the king who believes her bloodline can restore the lost magic—and who will use her father’s life to control her.
Forced into a perilous journey to the rotting heart of the realm, Arine must rely on a prince with his own agenda, a charming ally with a hidden past, and a band of companions whose secrets could destroy them before they ever reach their goal.
As betrayal and truth twist together, Arine learns that healing the world may demand a price she can’t bear—and that the greatest danger isn’t what waits in the Decayed Lands, but who walks beside her.
