The first in a new epic fantasy series for fans of The Witcher, Princess Mononoke, and Game of Thrones. She was never meant to be the hero. Only the warning.

She’s the weapon no one saw coming.

Wren has always known the cost of survival. Hidden away by her elven father, she was trained to fight. Trained to flee. Trained to vanish.

When he’s murdered, she follows his final order—burn everything and run.

But she is thrust into a world she was never prepared to face—and entangled in the return of the forest demons, creatures of earth and soul thought lost to time. She has dreamed of them. She can sense them. And when she begins to destroy them, something inside her starts to change.

As kings and councils hunt for answers, and enemies seek to claim her power, Wren is swept into a storm of suspicion and ancient rivalries—caught between shifting alliances and magic no one fully understands but all seek to control. Because the demons aren’t just rising.
