The Lost Crown Book 2: The Test
Our trail led up the side of a cliff. The path was rocky and, in some places, very unstable. When the Sun went down it got even harder to see. Allyah lit her palm up so that she could see.
“Put that out! You want the others to see us,” I whispered behind me to Allyah.
Hollis never expected much from life in her sleepy village—until the Academy of Oswalda called her name. Magic? Not likely. Or so she thought. But the test doesn’t just reveal she has powers—it crowns her one of the strongest students the Masters have ever seen. With that shock comes a bigger mystery: her past. Her origins don’t line up with anything she’s ever known, and when the couple who raised her vanishes, Hollis sets out on a path full of secrets, shadows, and unexpected strength. Between rocky trails, whispered warnings, and a brooding prince who might be more trouble than help, Hollis must uncover who she really is—and what she’s capable of.
