Publisher's Synopsis
In the war-torn land of Tarvilion, sixteen-year-old Kaela's forbidden gift-reading the bones of the dead-reveals a harrowing prophecy: her death is the only way to stop a tyrant destined to destroy the world. But the tyrant bears a familiar mark-a raven tattoo worn by a trusted elder in her village.
Seeking the truth, Kaela uncovers the Raven Vanguard, a secret faction intent on summoning the ancient Bone Tyrant to wield its apocalyptic power. Hunted by the Vanguard, Kaela flees with her loyal friend Mira, racing against time to stop the ritual that could doom Tarvilion.
At the cursed Bleeding Crags, Kaela must make an impossible choice: sacrifice herself to halt the prophecy or seize the Tyrant's power and risk becoming the very monster she fears. In a world where power corrupts and prophecies lie, Kaela will discover the devastating cost of defiance.
