The Bright Star: The Girl and the Black Wolf: A Middle Grade Fantasy Adventure of Magic, Wolves, and Destiny (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248496235)

When a mysterious star shines over a quiet village on the night Liora Ashford is born, no one suspects that her life will be tied to a power older than kingdoms and more dangerous than war.

Growing up in the shadow of the Sacred Oak Forest, Liora always feels different. Animals trust her. The wind listens. And one day, she rescues a wounded black wolf trapped in iron snares - a wolf with eyes that glow green and blue like living starlight.

She names him Shade.

But Shade is no ordinary wolf.

As Liora discovers her ability to speak with animals and awaken ancient magic, a dark order known as the Hollow Order begins to stir. Led by the powerful and enigmatic Varrick Nocturn, they seek to control magic by draining it from others.

Guided by a hidden mentor and protected by the Sacred Oak Forest, Liora must learn that true strength is not about domination - it is about balance.

Yet every time she uses her power, someone far away feels it.

And the star that once blessed her may soon call her into a war she never asked for.
