Shadows of Eldoria: The Awakening

Ivygrey01
Shadows of Eldoria In the kingdom of Eldoria, some powers were never meant to awaken. Elara, the daughter of a humble healer, has lived her life quietly in the shadow of the great city. But everything changes the night a legendary creature the Varyndor appears before her, awakening a mysterious light hidden within her. A power long forgotten.A power that can either save...or destroy the kingdom. Prince Kaelen already carries the heavy burden of the crown and a political engagement meant to secure the kingdom’s future. Yet the more time he spends with Elara, the more he begins to question the destiny others have chosen for him. As ancient forces begin to stir and dark creatures creep closer to Eldoria, secrets buried for generations begin to surface. And at the center of it all stands a girl who was never meant to hold such power. Elara may be the kingdom’s greatest hope… or the beginning of its fall.
