CHRONICLES OF THE PORTALS: BOOK ONE: LILAC

Ophelia thought losing her cousin and best friend was the end. It was only the beginning. When Pearl vanishes without a trace, Ophelia’s world collapses. But weeks later, Pearl returns—changed, secretive, and insistent that Ophelia come with her… to their true home. Desperate for answers and the chance to reclaim her family, Ophelia follows—only to uncover a chilling truth: the quiet town they once knew lies at the heart of an ancient war that never truly ended. A war they’ve been caught in all along, without even knowing it. As long-buried secrets surface and loyalties are tested, Ophelia is forced to question everything—her past, her purpose, and the price of peace. And like Pearl before her, she must awaken to a responsibility she never knew she had... one that could tip the scales of a conflict centuries in the making. Because some wars hide in silence. And some destinies refuse to wait.
