They were never supposed to be heroes.

But when a deadly plague hits the crown, three royal misfits become the kingdom's last hope.

In the empire of Akaria, tradition rules all-until the Obsidian Streaks begin claiming lives in every corner of the realm. Their only shot at saving the empire lies in a lost relic of legend: the Healing Stone, a magical gem said to cure any disease. If it still exists.

No pressure, right?

Now it’s up to:

• Princess Katerina: a witch forced to hide her power behind royal duties
• Liam: the emperor’s exiled nephew, caught between duty and freedom
• Anthony: the crown prince, loyal to a future he never chose

To retrieve the stone, they’ll have to survive fire-breathing guardians, unravel ancient secrets, and confront the haunting truths of who they were raised to be.

The monsters outside the empire are deadly. The ones within? Even worse.

A classic fantasy tale with dragons, magical relics, elemental magic, slow-burn bonds, and the kind of quest that changes everything.

Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Tamora Pierce, and readers who still believe magic can save the world.
