Some destinies ignite slowly, kindled by longing, courage, and the first spark of love.
Declan Rea enters the Melucian Ranger Academy searching for purpose, but among cadets who wield powerful magic, he feels painfully out of place. As an ungifted trainee in a world shaped by elemental force, he doubts his future and his worth. Unexpected solace arrives in Ayden, a talented fellow cadet whose guarded strength draws Declan in. Their fragile bond deepens just as kidnappings rock the kingdom and whispers of war rise across the border.
Forced into a perilous mission neither is ready for, Declan and Ayden must trust their skills and each other as threats close in.
An Archer’s Awakening blends sweeping fantasy with a tender, slow-burn romance about courage, identity, and the power of connection.
