Pact of Hollowroot: A Novel of Flame and Memory

When Caelin of Hollowroot stumbles upon a wounded wyvern in the mist-choked forest, she doesn't expect a bond. Not without ritual. Not without permission. And certainly not with a beast the world has forgotten how to revere.

But the pact forms anyway.

Now hunted by the Order that once trained her, Caelin flees into the ruins of a dying empire with a myth on her heels and a fire growing beneath her skin. What begins as survival becomes something else-something older. She and her wyvern, Vesha, are not the mistake the world believes.

They are the spark of something new.

As ancient truths resurface and forbidden memories stir, Caelin must decide: will she inherit a legacy built on obedience-or burn it down to forge a vow of her own?

A story of rebirth, reckoning, and the flame that chooses.
