Amirah leaves behind a royal birthright to answer her calling as an Ancient. Endowed with great longevity and the gift to design and bring forth new life, she commits to live as a simple and devout Adherent. Beautiful, bold, and brimming with magical talent, she is confident in her power until a distracting temptation causes her to lose control of her creations. She must focus, or she'll unleash great danger on the people of Enekoriah.
As both a princeling and an Ancient with the ability to command animal life, Forek is wild and proud, yet uncertain where he belongs. Governing with the Ancients is stifling and full of rules, but the courtly life awaiting him is meaningless and foreign to him. In his struggle to define his future and claim his reign, he knows only that he wants Amirah by his side. She is the only member of the Council who understands him. Their gifts are intertwined, and he is sure their destinies are too--if only he can convince her to abandon the Council of Ancients and all they stand for.
This fantasy novella acts as a prologue to the epic story of the Ancients, magical people who control the elements, the animals, and even life and death. Look for the full-length sequels coming in 2021: The Fifth PrinceThe Ancient Hop
