Amari hides a burning ambition in the warrior-ruled Kingdom of Sagar, where women are forbidden to fight. Hidden in a small village in Synia, she's honed her skills in secret, yearning to become the first female Sage Warrior.
One reckless act in the brutal Orrick pits throws her carefully planned life into chaos. Now a target, Amari must flee to the legendary Great City of Sagar, where the elite Laurean Sage competition offers a chance to fulfil her dreams - and escape her intended fate.
But a chance encounter unveils a shocking truth about her heritage, forcing Amari to confront a destiny far greater than she ever imagined. Duty clashes with desire as she's left with a heart-wrenching choice: embrace her fated identity as the Avaris of the fire tribe, the Kenryk, or fight for the future she's always craved.
Will Amari defy tradition and claim her place among the legends? Or will the weight of her past shatter her dreams of becoming a Sage Warrior?
