Destiny's Doom

Brin "Bright Eyes" saw beyond what others could. In her parents, most saw Dania's greatest warriors, leaders in the conquest of Pontea. Brin saw a couple still bound by love, but fractured by betrayal and haunted by what might have been. Her father, Vahldan, once hailed as the Bringer of Urrinan, a distant shadow who never spoke her name. Her mother, Elan, the foretold guardian of destiny, forever scarred by a war she couldn't win.

From the walls of the stone city that kept her safe but held her captive, Brin fixated on the mountains that separated the so-called civilized world of Pontea from the wild and free land that called her home. It was not a call she could heed-not when the only passage through was guarded by warriors who considered her an outcast. Not with the mighty Tiberian army closing in, vowing to purge Pontea of her people. Not in the face of a looming prophecy that promised the upheaval that now felt inescapable.

Yet as she trained with her uncle, learning the art of the Skolani Blade-Wielders, a new vision sparked within her-one that might bridge the realms of Dania and Pontea and rewrite the fates of the old world and the new.

Can Brin Bright Eyes forge a path only she sees? Or will she, too, succumb to Destiny's Doom?
