Perfect for you if...

  • You love portal fantasy with high stakes where characters must choose between love and duty, like in Twilight or the Cruel Prince series.
  • You're drawn to stories featuring dragon riders, mythical creatures, and epic battles that feel grounded in real emotional conflict.
  • You enjoy coming-of-age narratives where ordinary teenagers are thrust into extraordinary circumstances and forced to grow up fast.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone novels over series beginnings, as this is the first book in The Amaris Prophecies and sets up ongoing plot threads.
  • You're looking for fast-paced action throughout. This focuses heavily on internal conflict, temptation, and character development alongside the external battles.
  • You want morally grey characters or darker protagonists. Arielle's struggle is between light and darkness, but her core mission is redemptive.

About this book

Arielle, a winged Kaluduta messenger from the heavenly realm of Riyon, has sacrificed her immortality to descend to the world of Amaris in mortal form. As the Divine's chosen peacekeeper, she must unite the realm's divided clans and guide them toward harmony. However, human emotions bring doubt and frustration, along with temptation from Lael, her fallen eternal mate now known as Abaddon, who promises power the Divine denies. When clan rivalries erupt and Arielle is tempted to wield the corrupting power of Resha, hope arrives through the ancient Elnathan Prophecy. Three teenagers from Earth—Cosmo, Fatiha, and Jiyanu—are summoned as Yasha through a portal. Alongside Divine Interpreter Tauheed, they work to forge alliances with clans, dragon riders, and mythical creatures while uncovering sacred artifacts to confront the growing evil of Sathariel's domination. As the three teenagers from Earth face their personal demons while battling the Dark Forces threatening Amaris, one may be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the realm.
