Riftborn (The Riftborn series, #1)

In the heart of Chicago, Selene Carter unwittingly unleashes the unimaginable when she utters a fateful phrase from a dusty, ancient tome. Transported to the mesmerizing and treacherous Titanroot Forest, she finds herself in a realm where secrets deepen and shadows come to life. It's here that she collides with Zephyr Blackthorn?an enigmatic figure whose dark allure is only rivaled by his unwillingness to explain the world Selene has stumbled into.

But when her arrival raises suspicions, Selene is swiftly labeled a traitor and imprisoned in a dungeon. Alone and frightened, she encounters Finn Blackthorn, Zephyr's twin brother, whose carefree charm stands in stark contrast to Zephyr's brooding intensity. Together, they navigate the looming threat of a kingdom on the brink of war, before Zephyr rescues them both, revealing Selene's true identity as a nor'kai?a riftborn with the power to change the world.

As Selene faces the harsh reality of her new life, she is thrust into a world of conflict, where she must harness her untapped abilities to survive.
