Daughter of the Scepter (Children of Destiny, #1)

Book 1 of 3 in the Children of Destiny series.

She wants vengeance.
He wants redemption.
The Tower wants them both.

Eliana Chapman-Chen has spent her life fighting to reach the top of The Tower — a vessel built 3,000 years ago to protect what remains of humanity after The Last War.

Marked by a strange symbol the Administration has failed to remove. Feared for her dual-blood lineage. Haunted by her mother’s death. She has only one path: ace her Life Placement Exam, rise to power in the Administration, and kill the president who destroyed her family.

Revenge is the only thing she trusts and is almost within her grasp.

Until a Tower-wide blackout ends with her branded a terrorist and bound to a mysterious Guardian.

Soren is infuriating. Unwavering in his belief that Eliana’s destiny matters more than her choices and even his own soul. And the pull between them — a connection that feels older than memory and far more dangerous, threatens everything.

Eliana must decide who she will be: the girl who burns the world down for vengeance or the woman who risks her heart to save it.

Fans of romantasy, dystopian rebellion, deadly heroines, and slow-burn tension will devour this explosive new series.
