Heir to Oblivion - by Katie Andrade (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Anastasia has always felt like an outsider a girl raised in quiet solitude by her protective aunt, haunted by the parents she never knew. But on her first night at an elite boarding school, everything shatters. An attack forces her to flee, and with it comes a truth she can no longer ignore: she is not human. She is the last surviving heir of a royal bloodline from a hidden magical realm called Phelia. And she is being hunted.

But Anastasia is far more than a princess. She is the last survivor with a rare, impossible magic that makes her the literal key to defending Eldros Hollow, the ancient seat of power where the Eternal Portal lies. If the Necromancer King reaches that portal first, he will gain absolute dominion over every realm, enslaving all of the remaining free peoples of her realm.

As Anastasia is drawn deeper into a world of crystalline forests, shapeshifters, and faction alliances, she discovers she is not alone in the fight. There is Zaid a guardian assigned to protect her, whose fierce devotion ignites a forbidden passion that defies the very rules meant to keep them apart. There is Cena, her first true friend, who chooses courage over safety. And there are five factions of free peoples willing to risk everything on her power. But power demands sacrifice. Love demands choice. And destiny doesn't care which one Anastasia chooses.

With the King's dark army closing in, Anastasia must decide: Is she ready to be the key that saves everyone or will she risk everything for the chance to choose her own fate? A gothic paranormal romance about inheritance, rebellion, and the power of choosing your own path-even when the entire realm depends on you.
