At fourteen, Delta has crossed half the continent with her nomadic family. But her toughest journey still lies ahead. Tasked with attending a sorcery academy in the far-flung city of Samarzal, she must first reach it alive.

With her uncle and cousin, she joins a caravan that ventures onto the notorious Forsaken Road — a treacherous path plagued by hungry demons, evil necromancers, and murderous locals.

Delta is no princess or kickass heroine with flowing skirts. Just a girl from the plains, coming of age in a brutal, fascinating world. This is a story of grit, resilience, and growing up under unforgiving stars.

The Forsaken Road beckons. Walk it if you dare.

A special note for readers: this gritty book contains a lot of different characters and a lot of worldbuilding. If you prefer medieval fantasy focused on a few characters, you probably won't enjoy this story.
