Sneak Peek
Deep beneath the Korathian peaks, where stone remembers and wind speaks in forgotten tongues, a girl discovers that some debts can only be paid in starlight. When Vess accidentally awakens something ancient during a routine crystal harvest, she finds herself bound to a creature that shouldn't exist and a prophecy that was never meant to be spoken aloud. With her brother missing, her village crumbling, and reality itself beginning to fracture, Vess must venture into the heart of the mountains where the air breathes and the rocks have teeth. But the deeper she goes, the more she realizes that saving everyone might mean becoming something she can no longer recognize.
I write fantasy that feels real and strange in equal measure stories about ordinary people facing impossible choices in worlds where mountains breathe and ancient things still dream. I believe the best adventures happen when curiosity meets courage, and that some debts can only be paid in starlight.View all by Ore Nicolas
