The Dawning

She wants to forge her own path. He knows fate plans otherwise. Which will save her life and kingdom? An obtuse prophecy, or his cruel betrayal?

Elaria Winterbourne has supernatural skills. She thinks they're worthless, but her sorcerer-mentor, Solomon, knows better. He also knows another truth, one he keeps to himself. Hidden in an ancient book, riddles tease a glimpse of Elaria's treacherous destiny. Already overwhelmed by the impending responsibility of her sovereignty, Solomon refuses to burden her with the dark secret.

Rhyan Blackwood's ambition lies within the ranks of the renowned Royal Guard of Lynan Castle. When a world he thought fictitious is revealed, the gravity of his new role tests his self-belief. With his stubborn charge loathing his presence, both his vow and hopes are threatened.

Treachery surfaces when an adversary of Solomon's emerges from a century of hiding. Eager for the chaos he can create by claiming Elaria's power for himself, havoc descends. Solomon and Rhyan face a choice to save their sovereign's life; betray Elaria's trust, or place their faith in an obtuse prophecy.

But is fate ever anyone's to manipulate?

The Dawning is the first captivating instalment of the Coveted Power series, an epic coming-of-age fantasy, where sorcery, treachery, and love straddle medieval and contemporary worlds.
