Rise of Iron

The Tredania Chronicles, Book One

Sarah J. Hoodlet
——–
Emery has always been different. Even before the collapse, she was quiet, observant, and confident in her Iron Wright abilities. So when she feels a tremor beneath her feet, she knows something about it is strange. Minor tremors weren’t uncommon in the cave city of Oraden, but they weren’t supposed to feel familiar. They weren’t supposed to feel like a warning.

She devises a plan to leave Oraden and seek help from the Gold Wrights in the capital. Once there, Emery speaks with the High Chancellor about the potential danger. Not only does the High Chancellor not believe her, she humiliates her—and refuses to let her leave.

Prisoner in a strange city, Emery is forced to follow rules put in place by an empire that sees her class as little more than slaves. But when she befriends the handsome Lead Wright assigned to watch her, Emery’s eyes are opened to truths kept secret from her people for centuries. Truths that will change everything.

When society is destined for change, one person must rise to guide it into a new era. With her council assembled, the question isn’t whether or not Emery is ready, it’s if she’s able to move beyond her tragic past before an eruption propels her into the future.
