Author: Kayla E. Green
Genre: YA Noblebright Fantasy
Release Date: October 21, 2025
One girl determined to heal her sister and another looking for purpose in a nation on the brink of war. And unicorns—with a twist you’ve never seen before.
It’s Rowan Tritonia’s sixteenth Naming Anniversary. Her plans for the day never included a headache that causes her to almost faint on a day meant for celebration. When the world comes back into focus, her brown eyes have changed to magenta. But what scares her more is that everything around her is now black and white coupled with a mysterious ability to see the light and shadows in a person’s soul. Then a local cleric implies that Rowan could have the power of Sight, a gift which has only been seen in the stories of unicorns in the Book of Verimor, an ancient text. Rowan is perplexed. Why would Verimor give her something she never asked for instead of answering her greatest prayer to help her younger sister, Blythe?
News of the girl with Sight quickly travels beyond Rowan’s local village. When the King of Wisteria learns of her gift from a letter, he summons her to the castle. With growing political tensions from neighboring nations, Rowan may be able to provide the aid they desperately need. Linnea, the king’s sister and his primary advisor, prays that Rowan has truly been blessed by a unicorn and can save the nation and its people from encroaching darkness.
Meanwhile, back at home, Blythe, sets out on her own journey. She feels helpless, tied down by the pain that keeps her homebound most of the time. Although she wears a smile to comfort those around her—especially her family—Blythe wonders if her life will ever amount to anything more than fading into the background. Is she truly too broken for any greater purpose, or can Verimor still use her?
Excerpt from the Book
“There are no windows. One might think the Healing Bell should not be here. But there’s purpose beyond what is visible on the surface. You can worry and fret that it will wither or trust that it will thrive. Do you understand what I’m trying to say, Nora?”
Nora cast her green eyes down. Linnea offered a hand to her young companion.
“You are capable of more than you know. You are a strong, and you shouldn’t let—”
The large wooden door was thrown open. A broad-shouldered young man adorned in a silver tunic with a green sash and the Obsilvian crest barged in with a scowling Wisterian soldier at his heels. The soldier spoke, but the traveler’s voice drowned him out.
“Milady, are you lost?” The newcomer asked as he scanned the king’s advisory hall, his eyes landing on Linnea. His roguish, sharp accent was harsh. “I think the acting troupe is performing in the main dining room for courtiers and female guests,” he added with a sneer that Linnea felt was not intended to be subtle.
“An acting troupe?” Linnea responded with a smile. She turned toward the man who stood on the other side of the council table in the center of the room.
