BEGIN THE STORY
Every world was sealed. One girl was born as the door.
Deep within the guarded mountain hollow of Rootmere, Yasmin Velmara begins to sense something beyond the world she has always known. The animals feel it. The forest remembers it. And the boundaries between worlds are beginning to weaken.
THE STORY BEGINS IN ROOTMERE HOLLOW
Rootmere Hollow survived by remaining hidden—guarded by mountains, iron, and warnings whose origins its people no longer fully remembered.
​
Then, on one unnaturally silent morning, the Dawn Strike came too late. No birds crossed the valley. The Ironward stood unmoving. And Yasmin felt something beyond the known world begin to notice her.
