Echo of the Guardians

No one tells you how hard it is to be chosen. For seventeen years, Astra has waited for a letter from Spiritum Academy, the place where Echoes—mystical creatures of power—choose their Guardians. Some receive their calling at sixteen. Others never do. Astra fears she’s one of the forgotten. But when a shimmering letter finally finds her, secrets burn as quickly as hope. In a home where lies are constant and betrayal runs deep, Astra learns that being chosen is only the beginning. The Echoes don’t just want Guardians—they need them. And not everyone wants Astra to succeed. Thrust into a world of bonds, trials, and dangerous rivalries, Astra must prove herself worthy before her chance—and her life—turns to ash. Echo of the Guardians is a spellbinding new sci-fi fantasy about friendship, betrayal, and the power of being chosen when no one else ever believed you could be.
