Her path leads through a world where ancient prophecies and folklore shape reality, and where the bonds between sisters carry mystical power. Jenna must navigate dangers that threaten not only her own survival but the fate of those who depend on her growing abilities. The magic that flows through her bloodline becomes both weapon and burden as she confronts forces that would destroy the balance she fights to protect.
