The Hollow Light

Power in this world is measured by color.Most people are born with one. Aira was born with none, or so she believed. When her magic finally awakens at the Academy, it doesn’t take a color. It fractures into something impossible: silver and gold, balance and restoration, control and collapse, a power the world was never meant to see again. Now the Council wants her contained.The Academy fears what she might become.And something older, something that remembers what Ciphers truly are, is already moving in the dark. As Aira struggles to control the storm inside her, she finds an unlikely guide in Calyx, a rare purple whose insight cuts deeper than any power. But understanding may not be enough. Not when the very force meant to protect the world is beginning to break it. Because Aira is not just powerful. She is a fracture. And if she loses control…She won’t be the only thing that shatters.
