Shattered Spire

She was never meant to break the world.On the night of the Sorting Ceremony, eighteen-year-old Amara expects to discover her place in the kingdom.Instead, she destroys it.When the ancient crystal spire—source of all magic—shatters beneath her touch, Amara is revealed as something impossible: dual-marked, wielding both healing and destruction. A power no one has ever survived.Now the Council is hunting her. Not to save the realm—but to control it.Forced to flee with a guarded stranger who knows more than he admits, Amara uncovers a truth buried for centuries: the fall of the lost kingdom of Everael was no accident… and neither is she.To restore balance—and survive—Amara must face six deadly trials across a fractured world where forests think, shadows hunt, and truth is never what it seems.But power like hers doesn't come without a cost.And some destinies aren't meant to be survived.
