Book 1: 
On the continent of Astrellia, Princess Elana Sable is perfectly content to live a quiet life in her family's shadow, even if it means she's stuck learning how to be a good wife and a healer instead of how to fight or rule. Her older sister, Aislinn, the crown princess of Adrithia, is preparing to complete the once-in-a-generation quest alongside the heirs of neighboring kingdoms to earn the gods' elemental powers. Should each heir succeed, harmony and peace shall be secured for all-but there's no guarantee the heirs will survive the gods' tasks, or the treacherous mountain range on which the challenges take place.
At the ceremony where Aislinn will officially take her place as heir and embark on her journey, the gods' messenger declares Elana the true heir instead. With the kingdom shocked, and Elana reeling from being chosen, she must quickly learn how to fight and survive in nearly impossible situations. Pushed to the limit physically and mentally, Elana must step out of her sister's shadow and defy the odds to complete the trials. She must forge new alliances-including with the dangerous yet devastatingly handsome Prince Aidan-and navigate politics as dangerous as any sword fight, all while impressing the gods enough to earn their favor.
With war brewing on the continent, it's more important than ever for the kingdoms to work together to protect their people and their way of life. Elana could be the key to victory, or the catalyst for destroying the continent's fragile peace.
Book 2:
Reeling from loss, Princess Elana Sable of Adrithia is thrust into a world of politics and war she’s woefully unprepared for. She finds herself more isolated than ever when she sends her sister, Aislinn, on an important mission for the kingdom. With few people left to trust, she seeks help from Prince Aidan of Ocarin in discovering who is attacking the continent. Their journey for answers takes them to the kingdom of Aaranor, where they must pass dangerous trials to gain entry to the Great Archives. Time is running short, and there’s more than books to discover in the ancient library. Will they find what they need to unite the kingdoms?
Meanwhile, Aislinn’s misadventures take her to a place she never imagined she’d be…in the middle of an enemy’s war camp. For the first time in her life, she’s forced to confront her own weaknesses as she struggles to survive. She receives help from some unexpected allies as she fights to make it back to her family.
War is no longer brewing, it’s here, and the heirs of Astrellia are about to learn exactly who they’re up against.
