Realm of Ruins by Hannah West
Valory's power is different--it's dangerous, unruly, and destructive. Can she channel it to save the realm from chaos . . . or will her magic master her?A century after her legendary ancestors overcame a bloodthirsty tyrant, seventeen-year-old Valory Braiosa attends a training academy for elicromancers, immortal beings with magical gifts. But Valory's immense power isn't like that of her peers-- it seems impossible to tame, and she faces imprisonment by the Nisseran authorities.
But when a forbidden resurrection spell awakens a long-dormant evil, Valory may be the only one who can vanquish this terrifying villain. Together with a band of allies--including an old friend; a haughty princess; and a mysterious, handsome stranger--Valory must learn to harness her power and fight back. Dark magic, romance, and an ancient evil make Realm of Ruins a harrowing page-turner.
"A brilliantly paced adventure full of betrayals and romance and magic. I could have stayed and played in this treacherous world for a long time." - Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Legendary
Weaving together her imaginative world of magic with snippets from Beauty and the Beast and other classic stories, Hannah West's gritty adventure is a thrilling, immersive companion to her acclaimed debut.

Richly packaged hardcover edition includes an illustrated family tree, detailed map of Nissera, and embossed jacket with shimmering metallic effects.
