Isabel (An Avant Champion Novelette‪)‬

Isabel

Peace is fragile, always just out of reach. But I will not let my sacrifice be in vain.

Five years ago, I cast a spell powerful enough to end a brutal war. I gave everything to ensure victory, but now… I see the cracks. Visions warn of a darkness rising, a flaw in my magic that could unravel everything I fought for.

I must act before it's too late. To stop the coming catastrophe, I must lay the groundwork for the one who can repair my spell—the future Avant Champion. But the path forward is treacherous, leading me into unfamiliar lands and forcing me to bargain with a dragon whose price may be more than I can pay.

I thought my fight had ended. I was wrong.
