A matriarchal empire. A princess with forbidden power. A mother who would kill to protect her legacy.As Min Daughter and heir to the empire, Tori has spent her life beneath the iron will of her mother, Empress Zinchen—a sovereign determined to shape the world in her image. But Tori carries two secrets: the weight of a tragedy no title can absolve, and a forbidden magic that threatens everything her mother has built. If Zinchen discovers the truth, it will cost Tori her life.
Haunted by this threat, Tori flees into the hidden lands—a place of ghost-flowers, sentient forests, and immortals who have stepped out of myth. But magic here is neither blessing nor curse—it is a mirror. And as her trials mount, Tori is stripped of privilege, certainty, and pride.
Each failure shapes her. Each choice tests her resolve.
To survive her mother’s ambition, Tori must purge the power that could condemn her—but in doing so, she risks losing the very future she was born to claim.
Whispers of the Elixir begins the Order of the Ember series—a saga of betrayal, power, and the strength of a princess destined to rise from the shadows and claim her place in legend.
Perfect for readers who crave lush worldbuilding, sharp heroines, and epic stakes.
