💚 Found Family ⚔️ Epic Quests 🌿 Druidic Magic Half-elf Iellieth Amastacia is out of time to avoid a forced marriage to a cruel nobleman. She must transmigrate to the northern kingdom, exchanging her existing cage for one that's even more binding. But as the magical ritual that's to carry her north begins, her elven father's ruby amulet awakens. Rather than carrying her north, the amulet whisks Iellieth away to a frozen mountainside holding a hidden tomb. Within lies an ancient warrior. Buried by a fallen world and then forgotten, he's been waiting. For her. The amulet binds Marcon’s soul to Iellieth and sends a ripple of warning across Azuria—a sign of hope for future allies, a mark of death for powerful, ancient enemies. First among these new threats, an undead mage with a werewolf army turns his hunt toward the one with soul-awakening power. The one he's been waiting for millennia to hunt again. Iellieth has read about heroes the world depends upon for survival. She’s never been asked to be one. With her magic awakening, a champion by her side, and lives depending upon her choices, fate selected her. Now, Iellieth must choose herself. An epic quest filled with druidic magic, found family, immersive worldbuilding, and a slow-burn romantic subplot begins in Buried Heroes, book one in the Age of Azuria epic fantasy series.
