When Ava Harper stumbles upon an ancient door in the basement of her grandmother's cottage, she discovers a realm where her wildest dreams and nightmares collide. Fueled by whispers of destiny, she steps through into Elysium, a world teetering on the brink of chaos and beauty, a place where time answers to those with the courage to command it.
Ava isn't just any traveler. She possesses a rare gift-a power to rewrite the threads of fate-yet she is untrained and desperate to understand her own potential. Despite her self-doubt, Ava finds herself as the last hope of a land governed by Ezariah, a brooding guardian who holds the secrets of Elysium's past and a shadowed heart burdened with loss.
Together with Ezra, a charismatic but mysterious mage who harbors unimaginable secrets of his own, Ava embarks on a journey to comprehend her role in a prophecy that threatens not just Elysium, but the very fabric of reality. Every step Ava takes pulls her deeper into a web of legacy and love, past and potential, where choosing the wrong strand means annihilation.
15But as ancient forces rise, seeking to topple hope itself, Ava must confront the truth of her own heart. In doing so, she might just find the inspiration to turn back darkness-or succumb to it entirely, leaving her world in eternal shadow.
