Roots of Power

Audrey Thornfield was never supposed to wake the forest.

Raised in a quiet village with no knowledge of her true bloodline, Audrey's life shatters when ancient Druid magic erupts from within her and draws her to Shadowhaven Academy-a fortress of magic, dragons, dangerous trials, and secrets buried beneath stone and root.

At Shadowhaven, power is not a gift. It is a weapon.

Audrey must learn to survive among elite riders, ruthless students, and a council that seems to know more about her past than they are willing to admit. Her only certainty is the talisman her mother left behind, a mysterious Druid anchor that grows stronger as something old begins to stir beneath the academy.

Then there is Kael Veyne.

Cold, dangerous, and bound to a void dragon, Kael is the son of Shadowhaven's feared warden and one of the academy's deadliest warriors. He wants distance. Audrey wants answers. But every trial, every secret, and every threat pulls them closer together until the line between rivalry, protection, and something far more dangerous begins to blur.

When Korrath, a dark force tied to the Ancient Ones, sets his sights on Audrey and the power awakening inside her, Shadowhaven becomes the first battlefield in a war the world tried to forget.

Dragons will rise.

Bloodlines will burn.

And Audrey will have to decide whether she is the key to saving Shadowhaven-or the spark that destroys it.

Roots of Power is a dark academy fantasy with Druid magic, dragon bonds, ancient secrets, dangerous trials, found family, and slow-burn romantasy tension.
