THE GATHERING PLACE Long ago, a young sorceress dared to defy a rising darkness, and paid the ultimate price. Her sacrifice sealed away a devastating evil… but not forever. Now, generations later, the shadows are stirring once more, and no adult has the power to stop them. The magic that can resist this darkness doesn’t dwell in castles or crowns. It lives only in the hearts of children. Princess Elle , her brother Prince Jetamine , and their cousins live in a peaceful land filled with unicorns, pixies, and ancient scrolls. But that peace shatters when a mysterious girl appears, bringing warnings of wrath and creeping shadow. Thrust into a legacy none of them asked for, and none can ignore, the children must rise to meet a destiny written long before their time. Running through their veins are ancient gifts , passed down by a forgotten crone, gifts only children can inherit, and only the worthy can unlock. To awaken them, they must journey through enchanted tunnels, lost chambers, and the fragile threshold between childhood and destiny. The road ahead is perilous. The magic demands a price. Because real power comes with real cost, and the future belongs to those still hopeful enough to believe they can change it.
