Immerse yourself in the fantastical tale of an elven maiden who receives an unexpected power that could be the beginning of her people's deliverance or an instrument of her destruction.On the day of her awakening, Seren immersed herself in the fragrant waters of the elves' sacred pool hoping to be empowered with humble, useful gifts. Instead, the pool's divine guardian entrusted her with power over water, empathy, and a magical token that her oppressive king, Kadoc, sees as his patron god's blessing while the rebels pray it proves to be his undoing. But as Seren learns more about her newfound powers and connection to the tyrannical elven king, she realizes that her role may be more complex than either side ever imagined.
