Lose Yourself In A Story You Can't Put Down
Claiming The Aurora
Adira Solari is dead, but Raine Ferin lives, and suddenly finds herself struggling to understand a world where everyone wants to kill her.
Even dragons.
It has been nearly ten years since Raine’s mother faked her death and locked her away to hide her from the power-hungry militia general that nearly killed her when she was eight—who also happens to be her ruthless, bastard-of-a-father.
The plan was simple: Stay ‘dead’ until after she was old enough to be claimed by the aurora and then she could join a guild school or she’d find a new city and live a quiet life in a library binding books somewhere. Simple. Plain. Ordinary.
But on her eighteenth birthday, Raine got more than the freedom she longed for when the aurora chose to claim the girl long thought to be dead in front of the entire city.
Including the general.
As Raine’s once-quiet life shatters into chaos, she must put her trust in her mothers greatest secret that involves a group of assassins who are more eager to kill her than protect her.
Aided by her snarky gryphon and a few friends she meets along the way, Raine must learn to harness the power she’s been given—or die trying. But with war looming, love beginning to bloom, and death lurking in every corridor, time is running out.
