Species (Fantasy)
In the fractured world of Oranthia, humans are no longer the dominant race. A thousand years ago, a celestial event known as the *Great Rift* split the land and awakened ancient, hidden species-each with unique powers and histories etched into their very existence. Now, the world is divided into territories ruled by Humans, Sylphyn (airborne beings of wind and wisdom), Feralkin (beast-like shapeshifters), and the Umbren (shadow-walkers thriving in darkness).
Eighteen-year-old Lyra Kaelen has always felt out of place in her small human village, haunted by visions of creatures she's never encountered and dreams of a war she never lived through. When her peaceful life is shattered by an attack from an unknown force, Lyra discovers she isn't human at all but a hybrid-a forbidden blend of Sylphyn and Umbren blood, a mix thought impossible and punishable by death in all kingdoms.
Hunted by species who see her existence as a threat to their fragile alliances, Lyra is forced to flee with the help of a mysterious Feralkin mercenary and a rogue Sylphyn scholar. Together, they uncover an ancient prophecy foretelling the rise of a hybrid species destined to either unite Oranthia-or destroy it entirely.
As the balance of power shifts, Lyra must navigate a dangerous landscape where every species has its secrets, and allies can turn into enemies in the blink of an eye. To survive, she must embrace the warring sides of her nature and wield powers she barely understands. But as she draws closer to the truth, Lyra begins to question whether the prophecy is a warning-or her fate.
*Species* is an epic fantasy filled with vivid world-building, high-stakes action, and a heroine who must challenge the very essence of identity and belonging to save-or doom-a fractured world.
