The Valai Chronicles: Awakening

For centuries, the darkness has slept.

Now, it is beginning to stir.

When Aella Krys dies, twenty-year-old Aeliana expects to inherit little more than an empty estate and the memories of the woman who raised her. Instead, she inherits questions.

A mysterious crystal. A sword that should not be where she finds it. Visions of people and places she has never known. And a final warning from her grandmother that suggests Aella had been preparing for something long before her death.

Something is waking beneath the ancient ruins of Validon.

As Aeliana is drawn farther from the life she knew, she discovers a world whose history is far older—and far stranger—than she was ever taught. Forgotten peoples walk the roads of Eldoria. Ancient curses still linger in blood and memory. Shadows thought destroyed are moving again. And everywhere she travels, something within her seems to recognize a past she has never lived.

Her grandmother knew this was coming.

So did others.

And some have been waiting centuries for her to arrive.

With her brother Flynn at her side and an unlikely company gathering around them, Aeliana must uncover what Aella left behind before an ancient enemy breaks free.

But the greatest mystery is not what is awakening in the darkness.

It is what is awakening within her.

The Valai Chronicles: Awakening is an epic fantasy of forgotten history, ancient magic, found family, prophecy, and a world beginning to remember what it once was.

The darkness is waking.

The Light is answering.
