Where light meets shadow, destiny awakens. Victoria, the last of the Animal Masters, carries within her a lineage of elemental power and ancient prophecy. Through sacred trials and spirit-given gifts - the strength of the bear, the sight of the falcon, the stealth of the lynx - she becomes more than a survivor. She becomes the inheritor of a forgotten truth. But truth has a shadow. He is the Dark Man. Once betrayed, now bound to darkness, his presence poisons the land and bends reality to his grief. He watches her through unseen eyes, lures her into his ruin, and tempts her with visions that blur the lines between memory and manipulation. To the world, he is a threat. To Victoria... he may be something far more dangerous: a mirror. As the walls of Sylvaris whisper long-buried secrets and allies vanish into shadow, Victoria walks a path few would dare - guided only by her instincts, her fury, and her companions: Nyxar, the loyal black dog with more awareness than any beast should possess, and Button, a magical raven with a sharp tongue and a shattered past. In a world of illusion and elemental power, can she uncover what truly destroyed her people... before she becomes the weapon that finishes what began in silence? For the Chosen Few - Where Light Meets Shadow is a lyrical, emotionally charged continuation of a fantasy saga for fans of Naomi Novik's "Uprooted", Robin Hobb's "The Realm of the Elderlings", and the atmospheric depth of Katherine Arden's "Winternight Trilogy".
