AWAKENING OF THE LIGHT Book One of the Light of the Universe Knights Series The Light doesn’t choose the strongest.It chooses the ones who refuse to break. Nessa’s life was never meant to be extraordinary. Then the Light chose her. Pulled into a hidden world of ancient temples, living crystals, and an endless war between Light and Darkness, Nessa discovers she is one of the newly awakened Light Knights—warriors bound to protect the balance of the world itself. There’s just one problem. She has no idea what she’s doing. The other Knights trained for this their entire lives. They understand their powers, their purpose, and the dangerous history behind the Crystals they carry. Nessa doesn’t. Her connection to Astralis—the Crystal of Stars—is unstable, unpredictable, and growing stronger by the day. As corrupted creatures begin to emerge and sacred places across the world fall to shadow, the Knights realize an ancient enemy may be awakening once again. One tied to the first fall of the Light itself. Forced to fight beside warriors she barely knows, Nessa must survive brutal training, unravel the secrets behind the Crystals, and learn what it truly means to wield the Light before the darkness consuming the world reaches Lantis. Because power alone will not save them. The Light is not strength.It is choice. And when the final battle comes, Nessa will have to decide who she is willing to become… before the Light is extinguished forever.
