The Shadow of Umbra
The Legend of the Kronicals: Book 1
Kiseki Sato has spent her entire life alone. Raised by a kind woman in a remote village, she knows nothing of her real family or the world beyond. When a mysterious uncle summons her to the prestigious Juniper Academy in the heart of a gleaming coastal city, she believes her life is about to begin. She's right, but not in any way she could imagine. On the night of Spiritswalk Eve, Kiseki discovers that magic is real, that ancient crystals hold the power of the elements, and that she carries abilities unlike anything the world has seen. Thrust into a reality where shadows whisper and light fights back, she finds unexpected allies: Clara, a girl whose brightness hides deep wounds, and Hyro, a scholar who has spent years chasing a truth no one else believes. Together, they will learn that some powers were never meant to be controlled, and that the greatest strength lies not in what you wield, but in who you choose to stand beside.
