Power was never meant to be gentle.

Inira Boehme was born to lead. Chosen as the future High Priestess of Teleosis, she carried the hopes of an entire civilization-until everything she loved was torn away. Her capital city was destroyed, her destiny stolen, and the woman she was meant to become was buried beneath grief and ruin.

For twenty years, Inira survives by refusing to look back.

But the past has a way of demanding reckoning.

When a dangerous invitation offers her the chance to reclaim her stolen legacy, Inira must decide whether she is willing to risk her hard-won solitude for power once promised to her. Returning means facing betrayals that still ache, enemies older than memory, and the truth she has spent decades outrunning.

The most terrifying battle is not the one raging beyond her walls-but the one within her own heart.

Haunted by loss and driven by a fierce longing for meaning, Inira is forced to confront who she was, who she became, and who she is willing to be now.

Teleosis is a sweeping fantasy of heartbreak and hope, of rage and resilience, of love that wounds and power that demands a price. It is a story for readers who crave fierce women, moral complexity, and the aching beauty of second chances.

This is not just a story about saving a world. It is a story about reclaiming yourself.

Begin the journey. Transformation is waiting.
