Buried Heroes - Age of Azuria, #1

As the Festival of Renewal approaches, Iellieth must choose: Stay with her distant mother and abusive stepfather or accept an arranged marriage to a cruel, power-hungry nobleman from another kingdom. But just as she faces the consequences of her decision, her father's amulet whisks her away to a snow-covered mountainside. Hidden within is an ancient warrior waiting to be awakened-waiting for her. He holds the key to the life of adventure she's always wanted and-most importantly of all-to her destiny.
And that's only the beginning. Prove yourself, find where you belong, and step into the person you were meant to be in this gripping, first-in-series epic fantasy novel by Beth Ball, author of Phoenix Rising.
