Kiera Rylan never expected destiny to choose her. When a mysterious scarlet rune awakens in her palm, she is pulled into the Reckoning, an ancient trial where powerful runes test the strength, courage, and spirit of those chosen to wield them. Facing living shadows, haunting memories, and impossible choices, Kiera must master powers she barely understands. Along the way she discovers that survival depends not only on strength, but on trust and unity. As the trials intensify, Kiera must rise as the Rune Bearer, or risk letting the Reckoning consume not only her, but the world beyond.
