The Awakening

The Arcane Odyssey · Book 1

Zamaria Zephyr has lived her life surrounded by magic, but never meant to touch it.

Raised among enchanted texts in her family's quiet bookshop, Zamaria has always sensed that some books listen back, that certain symbols shift beneath her gaze, and that there may be more to her family's world than she has ever been told.
