One ceremony. One impossible choice. A destiny no one saw coming.
For as long as she can remember, Olivia Venharrow has dreamed of joining Nuvarande, the legendary underwater realm of Audrenelle. After completing a grueling year of military training at the prestigious College of Audrenelle, she finally stands before the ancient Pool of Power, where every graduate is assigned to the realm they are destined to serve.
When the Pool chooses both the sea serpent and the dragon for Olivia, history is made.
Faced with an impossible decision, Olivia chooses the life she has always wanted. But when the waters of Nuvarande reject her, she is forced into the one future she never imagined: joining Travella's elite Aerial Vanguard and bonding with dragons.
As Olivia struggles to find her place among warriors who seem determined to test her at every turn, she uncovers secrets buried beneath centuries of peace. Ancient powers stir, hidden truths begin to surface, and the world she thought she understood starts to unravel.
Complicating matters further is Lieutenant Colonel Zeekiel Greystone, a powerful, infuriating officer whose presence is impossible to ignore. Drawn together by forces neither of them fully understand, Olivia finds herself caught between duty, desire, and a growing mystery that threatens everything she thought she knew.
Set in a richly imagined world of dragons, underwater kingdoms, ancient magic, and dangerous secrets, The Pool of Power is the first installment in an epic fantasy series perfect for readers who enjoy immersive world-building, slow-burn romance, powerful magical bonds, and unforgettable adventures.
