Before Mirri. Before the prophecy. Before the world of Althord Loch began to crumble... There was Gwenna.
She was never supposed to be the one holding the Cristalli gem. But when magic erupted in all the wrong places, Gwenna made a choice that changed everything—and unleashed a chain of consequences that would echo for generations.
Now, years later, as secrets resurface and danger looms once more, Gwenna is finally forced to tell the truth. The truth about the gem that wasn’t what it appeared. The truth about the new and old friends who risked everything to help her. The truth about Branson … and how magic crossed into a world it was never meant to touch.
Lies. Thievery. Near-death escapes. Gwenna’s past is a tangle of mistakes and half-buried regrets. But some stories won’t stay hidden forever. And to stop the darkness now threatening Althord Loch, Mirri and her friends must understand how it all began.
Because saving the world means going back to the girl who broke it.
Perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Narnia, and Percy Jackson, this unforgettable prequel is filled with magic, danger, emotional twists, and the messy beginnings of a legend.
I had the pleasure of Beta reading for this book and I loved it so so much!!! This is my favorite YA fantasy series and this book was everything! The author is amazing at her world building and descriptions (at least I think she is) and so much action in these books!! Each book in this trilogy had me riveted and I found it hard to put the book down. Action/heartwarming family/found family/adventure/all sorts of creatures/portals/new friendships/trials/evil forces/lessons learned and more can be found in this series! I highly recommend adding these books to your TBR/Amazon cart/ buying from the author directly, etc!!!
