Seventeen-year-old Kaela Thorne never believed the bedtime tales her grandmother told-stories of ancient kingdoms, shattered crystals, and queens of flame. That is, until a mysterious voice calls her into the forbidden Alwinor Forest and awakens a dormant magic deep within her blood. Marked by ancient runes and chosen by a shard of the lost Eldaran Crystal, Kaela is thrust into a world of prophecy, shadow, and war. Hunted by a dark sorcerer and guided by elemental Guardians, she must journey across a crumbling realm to gather the scattered pieces of the crystal before darkness swallows the world. But Kaela is no warrior, and the weight of a forgotten legacy threatens to break her. As forgotten powers stir and enemies close in, Kaela must decide: will she embrace her destiny as the last heir of Eldara-or let the flame of her bloodline die forever? Full of elemental magic, fierce friendships, and a spark of ancient royalty, The Crystal of Eldara is a spellbinding fantasy adventure perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Shadow and Bone, and The Queen's Rising.
