What would you sacrifice for salvation? Your heart? Your soul? The one you love?

Perfect for fans of YA portal fantasy, time-travel fantasy, coming-of-age fantasy, epic fantasy worlds, battles between light and darkness, quests, temptation, and heroic sacrifice.

Arielle, once a radiant winged Kaluduta messenger from the heavenly realm of Riyon, has sacrificed her immortality to descend to the world of Amaris in mortal form. As the Divine's chosen peacekeeper, her task is to unite the realm's divided clans and guide them toward harmony.

But human emotions bring doubt, frustration, and a haunting temptation: the intimate voice of Lael, her fallen eternal mate now known as Abaddon, promising power the Divine denies.

Caught between the light she desperately seeks and the darkness that relentlessly pursues her, Arielle must navigate a world of:
Quests and ancient prophecies

Forbidden love that transcends realms

Impossible choices with eternal consequences

Dragon Riders and mythical creatures

Betrayal, redemption, and the true cost of acceptance

Epic battles between celestial forces and demonic power

As clan rivalries erupt, she is tempted to wield the corrupting power of Resha to unleash an unstoppable evil across Amaris. But there is hope. The ancient Elnathan Prophecy awakens, summoning three Yasha from Earth: Cosmo, Fatiha, and Jiyanu. Thrust through a portal, they join forces with Divine Interpreter Tauheed in a bid to stop Sathariel's domination. Their quest? To forge alliances with clans, dragon riders, mythical creatures, and uncover sacred artifacts to confront the growing evil.

Their journey sees the three teenagers from Earth confront their own personal demons as they battle the Dark Forces threatening the freedom of the people they have come to save. As they struggle to overcome Sathariel's rising tyranny, one of them may have to make the ultimate sacrifice to save Amaris.
