A quiet farm. A hidden child. And a world teetering on the edge of ruin.
Fallon Swift has never known a life untouched by fear. Born after the Doom wiped out billions, she’s grown up in the shadow of a devastated world, where magic is feared, survival is brutal, and gifted children like her are hunted.
Now, as her thirteenth birthday approaches, destiny calls. Fallon is The One, and a centuries-old mage has come to prepare her. Deep in the woods, she will train in sword and spell, in healing and battle, to become the leader fate demands.
But the world doesn’t wait. Raiders prowl. Fanatics rise. Darkness spreads.
If Fallon fails to rise, hope will fall with her.
Will she be ready when the fight finds her?
