Princess Celest: Tales of the Five Realms

by James Beffa

In just a few short years, Celest of Tresis ascended from the ranks of unknown commoners to first-order Magician, war hero, Countess, and betrothed of Herom, Crown Prince of Tagon. Her meteoric rise has caught the attention of those who rule the Five Realms, and in dark halls of power, enemy factions begin to coalesce. A prophetic vision of her own assassination sends Celest on a desperate, dangerous quest to save her family through daring alliances, deadly politics, and the siren’s call of dark magic rising from the pages of the Grimoire of Shadows. But can she change her future from death to life?
