Elaris Rising

Elaris Rising: The Battle for Unity and Light by Gemma Ortwerth

In a world where division threatens to unravel everything, one woman’s visions could be the key to salvation—or destruction.

When Nyla, a reluctant seer haunted by fractured glimpses of disaster, stumbles through a portal into the hidden city of Elaris, she discovers a place teetering on the edge of collapse. Shadowed forces, both within and beyond, seek to consume the city’s vibrant magic. As she struggles to control her growing abilities, Nyla is thrust into a reluctant alliance with fierce warriors, spell-weavers, and shapeshifters—all while facing a dangerous enemy who knows her every doubt.

But the greatest battle isn’t against the shadows outside—it’s against the divisions within. Elaris can only survive if its fractured people stand together, and Nyla must learn to trust herself—and inspire others to do the same—before it’s too late.

Elaris Rising is a sweeping tale of resilience, unity, and defiance in the face of darkness, crafted for readers who believe that hope is a rebellion and difference is a strength.

Perfect for fans of Legendborn, Six of Crows, and The City of Brass.
