The Last Dragon's Mage

Valerie Ravenwood, born to power but seemingly devoid of it, yearns to control the very elements that define her heritage. But when a mysterious inner voice stirs and her powers unexpectedly surge, she finds herself entangled in a web of family secrets and an ancient, dangerous competition. Will she finally master her unique abilities, or will the truth behind her family's hidden past consume her?

The arena lights glared, a harsh contrast to the quiet solitude Valerie usually sought. Her heart hammered against her ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the roar of the crowd. This wasn't the calm training ground with Elias, nor the comforting presence of her mother or Jade. This was real, raw, and terrifying.

Her gaze locked onto her opponent, a face that showed no flicker of recognition. A feat, considering their history. Valerie swallowed, the taste of fear metallic on her tongue. The cheers, the announcements—all faded into a dull thrum as her opponent lifted her hands, ready to summon her power. Valerie knew she had no choice. She never thought she'd face her elder sibling in this arena.
