Only she can save the realm if she doesn't destroy it first.
Inara was born a shielder, blessed with the rare power to summon golden barriers that bend and shift to her will. But something darker runs through her veins, an ancient magic outlawed for over two thousand years. If anyone discovers what she truly is, it will mean her death. Across the realm, the Crowned Prince rules beside his ice-breathing dragon, his sense of duty carved deep into his soul. Cold. Ruthless. Bound to protect his kingdom no matter the cost. Even if it breaks his heart. When an ancient threat stirs, and the balance between the kingdoms begins to crumble, Inara is the only one with the power to stop it. But saving the realm will expose the secret that could end her life. Two choices. One fate. Save herself or save the world. The Last Syphon is the first book in a duology. It ends on a slight cliffhanger. Tropes include: mythical creatures; good vs. evil; secrets and lies; powerful female lead; and slow-burn. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website. Narrated in duet style.
