Whispers of Emberstones (The Emberheart Saga, #1)

Deep within the treacherous highlands, where wyvern magic once shaped civilization, three enemy mining cities teeter on the brink of destruction. A century after the last wyvern‘s fall, the sentient peaks dividing these rivals have awakened, unleashing forces that haven‘t been seen since the age of legends. ELVA, an engineer who despises magic, is drafted for a mission through monster-infested caves to attack her city‘s enemy. When her friend secretly enlists, she‘s forced to confront the very magic she loathes to save him. After witnessing a brutal massacre, ASANTE guards a weapon that could save-or destroy-their land. But as ancient creatures stir and alliances shatter, she must decide if vengeance is worth the price of unleashing its power. With his city facing volcanic destruction and their last Enchanter‘s life hanging by a thread, YOEN must decide whether to risk everything by forcing his enemy, Elva, to help or watch everything he loves turn to ash. In an epic adventure of blood and stone magic, betrayal, and romance-the trio must decide whether to sacrifice everything to save their cities...or watch them burn.
