Before the flame, there was silence.
Before silence, there was a broken crown.
The worlds were once bound by the Emberlight - a living force of memory, loyalty, and truth holding twelve realms in balance. Then the Circle of Twelve shattered, the keys were scattered, and from that silence rose the Hollow King - a ruler forged not by war, but by unspoken truth and forgotten names.
Now the veil is thinning.
In modern Brooklyn, Kai - a science-minded stargazer marked by a mysterious spiral - feels something ancient awakening. At his side, Thunder, a silver wolf bound to his fate by instinct and ancient watchfulness. Across the worlds, Lyra, a flame-bearer bound to prophecy and loss, carries a fire she does not yet understand - and Solara, an ember-scaled dragon whose wings stir memories older than crowns.
Drawn together by fate and by wounds they would rather forget, Kai and Lyra discover they are not heroes by destiny - but by choice.
Guided by riddles older than time, watched by Veyra, an ancient guardian who knows that every awakening demands a sacrifice, they must pass through hidden gates buried beneath cities, temples, and forgotten worlds. Each trial forces them to confront what has been silenced: memory, grief, guilt, shame. Each victory restores a fragment of the Emberlight - and brings them closer to the truth behind the Hollow King's fall.
But the greatest enemy is not shadow. It is silence.
As ancient names resurface and the crown's origin is revealed, Kai and Lyra learn that prophecy is not a command - it is an invitation. To speak what was never spoken. To face the wound beneath the world. To decide whether the past must be repeated - or rewritten.
The Awakening is Book One of the Trilogy "Emberlight Chronicles" - a sweeping myth-fantasy blending modern worlds and ancient legends, dragons and wolves, lost kings and chosen children. Lyrical, emotionally rich, and breathtaking in scope. Perfect for readers who love epic fantasy with heart, found-family bonds, mythic companions, and stories that linger long after the final page.
The flame is stirring. The gates are opening. And the story has only just begun.
Ross, Nelia: - "Some people are born into one world. Nelia Ross was born into all of them: cosmopolitan by nature, artist by destiny.Singer. Songwriter. Composer. Pianist. Producer. Painter. Writer. These are not separate chapters of her life - they are the same sentence, written in different languages. For Nelia, creativity has never been a choice. It is the only way she knows how to breathe.Born in Abruzzo and raised in Rome, Italy, she has spent her life moving between Italy and the United States, traveling worldwide, collecting sounds, stories, images and emotions that refuse to stay quiet. Her music has filled concert halls across Europe and reached listeners in dozens of countries. She has performed at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas alongside Andrea Bocelli. She has interpreted Christine in The Phantom of the Opera, duetting with celebrated tenor Jonathan Roxmouth. She has taken the stage during the halftime show of the NFL Summer League Championship. She has hosted her own television show on NBC.And yet none of these stages were ever the destination. They were simply where the journey passed through.Her paintings translate what words cannot reach. And now, her stories build entire worlds from a single image, a single feeling, a single moment of wonder that refuses to be ignored. Because for Nelia, everything connects. A melody becomes a scene. A painting becomes a character. A feeling becomes a universe.She is the founder of Biscroma Broadcasting Network Inc., a multimedia company dedicated to bold, original storytelling across music, literature, television and film.And the journey has just begun.www.neliaross.com @neliaross.artist Facebook: @nelia.ross.2025"
