A Harbinger of Darkness
She was meant to play the pawn. Instead, she became the threat.
When her forbidden magic catches the High Council's eye, a frightened herbalist discovers the truth: her power shares a dark connection with the miracle plant, Crimson Heart. Now Amara faces an impossible choice—preserve a peace built on blood and lies, or reveal a secret that will destroy the kingdom.
