The kingdoms of Eldoria have known centuries of stillness since Ulrich the Mad—an Elven tyrant twisted by dark magic—was sealed beneath the roots of the world. But when Iyonmana, conduit of the Sun Tree and matriarch of Andradia, receives a vision of his return, the other conduits dismiss it as a fading flame of an old war.

Refusing to stand idle, she sends her two great granddaughters—Idia, a blazing knight with a warrior’s temper, and Uwa, a quiet archer whose water magic runs deeper than it seems—to investigate the growing signs of unrest. Joined by the Moonflower prince Illythand the enigmatic mage Aelar, they must navigate hostile lands, divine politics, and elemental trials to uncover what may be a rising threat… or a fire that never truly died.

But something ancient is stirring.And if they fail, Ulrich will rise again.

In a realm of ancient trees, political courts, and buried gods, two heirs of the Sun Tree must uncover a truth older than their blood.
