Aleeia dreams of a life beyond the Woodlands of the South, but on her birthday, her world shatters. Stolen away by hooded strangers, she is thrust into a truth she never imagined: she is the centerpiece of an ancient war between the first beings of Avalon.
Aleeia must navigate a landscape of shifting loyalties and ancient prophecies, from the desert sands of Nubia to the misty peaks of the Isle of Avalon. As she decodes the long-lost cryptography of the Abydos tablets, she awakens a power known only as "The Will"-a force capable of unmaking the very foundations of the world.
But the ageless owl, Caim, is watching. And Changel, the master of deception, will stop at nothing to claim her power for his own.
In a race against an armada that threatens to consume the horizon, Aleeia must choose: embrace the spirit of the watchers who came before her, or watch as the garden she was born to protect falls to ruin once again.
Fans of epic high fantasy, ancient Egyptian mythology, and stories of self-discovery will be captivated by this sweeping narrative of faith, power, and redemption.
