Born of Water: 1 (The Rise of the Fifth Order) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

A failed duty. A forbidden magic. An epic journey begins.

In the world of Myrrah, elemental magic is not just a gift but a destiny. Ria, a young girl who has always hidden her forbidden powers, finds her life unraveling when she calls upon magic to save her best friend’s life. She discovers there is something worse than being able to control water, air, fire, or earth—there is another power, one that is forbidden, and its use is punishable by death.

The Church of Four Orders rules Myrrah with an iron fist, controlling those born with elemental abilities and condemning those with the gift of magic. Ria must flee everything she has known to outrun a creature sent to capture those who use tainted magic. Her best chance of success lies in the protection of Niri, an outcast Water Priestess who might choose to betray her as much as help her.

Haunted by the potential of a young girl with powers untold, Niri must choose between her loyalty to the Church and the life of an innocent. With the Curse—a relentless creature sent to eliminate magic users—closing in, Niri joins forces with Ria and her best friend, Lavinia, and her brother, Ty, a runaway with secrets of his own. Together, they embark on a perilous journey across the sea to the fabled Temple of Dust, seeking answers and refuge.

As the group navigates a land filled with danger and ancient magic, Ria must discover just what is the magic she controls and why the Church of Four Orders wants anyone born with it killed before they capture her. Their journey tests the limits of their endurance and the bonds of their friendship as they uncover the truth about their powers and their place in the world.

Born of Water is the thrilling first installment in the Rise of the Fifth Order series—a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of friendship in the face of insurmountable odds.
