About This Book
The crisp scent of damp earth and ancient magic fills the air as Emma steps into the hidden village of Wode Gate. Strange creatures scurry and a grumpy dragon grumbles nearby, but danger lurks deeper—someone is after her, and the shadows whisper secrets Emma can barely understand. With her newfound powers and a heart caught between worlds, every step feels like a step closer to a mystery she can’t escape.
