The Awakening of the Elements

She survived the destruction. MASTERED THE POWER. Awakened the elements.

Twenty-three-year-old Amara Thalor survives a devastating attack by a shadow army—and awakens something within herself that had previously only existed in legends. The powers of earth, fire, water, and air merge inside her, revealing her true nature: she is a Spiritborn, the only being capable of mastering all the elements. But even such power may not be enough. The empire stands on the brink of war, dragons refuse to cooperate, the protective magic between the clans is weakening, and an ancient darkness is stirring deep beneath the surface.

Amara is taken to the Fire Clan's base, where her training is overseen by Thane Caelum—a war-hardened commander who has survived more battles than he can count. Under his guidance, Amara learns to control the power that could save her life… or destroy her. Thane keeps his distance, and Amara tries not to succumb to what is growing between them. But the more the world around them falls apart, the harder it is to ignore their mutual attraction.

To survive, Amara will have to choose: will she become a weapon in the hands of others, or will she forge her own path through the flames and chaos? Because the Spiritborn did not come to save the world. She came to change it…
