symbols of the ancients series
book three the chosen
Desire is a weapon. Power is a curse. And the forces hunting Madeline are no longer content to hide in the shadows. Her next trial drags her into the Woodlands of the Spirits—a forest older than memory, where the air itself hungers and every step strips away magic, sanity, and truth.
To survive, she must seek the Mother of Life and accept a gift capable of saving her… or unravelling her from within. But the forest is only the beginning.
Beneath the realm, two secret Orders move in silence—one sworn to protect the magic-born, the other determined to erase them. The Warriors of the Vale claim loyalty, yet even they cannot name the master guiding their blades. Their rivals, known only as the Order, slip through the world like smoke, rewriting destinies and hunting those marked by ancient power. As Esster uncovers why the five girls were stolen from their mothers, the threads binding their fates begin to fray. Loyalties shift. Shadows whisper lies. And every truth Maddy uncovers only leads to deeper, more dangerous questions.
Desire coils through every choice she makes—dangerous, intoxicating, impossible to ignore. The men sworn to protect her are bound by devotion, but devotion can fracture… and love can be its own kind of curse. With betrayal tightening like a noose and temptation burning perilously close to ruin, Maddy must decide what she is willing to sacrifice—her blood, her magic, or her heart. Because every gift has a price. And the forest always takes more than it gives.
