The Storm's Approach — Rich Inman

The Storms Approach In the world of Eleshar, where light and darkness rule in unyielding cycles, El's desire for adventure leads her into a journey she never expected—one that pulls her far from the safety of her island home and into the heart of a sprawling city. What begins as a simple day voyage soon turns into a nightmare, as El is captured and thrust into a life of servitude, where her every move is watched, and every choice carries a heavy cost. Stuck working in the estate of her captors, El must learn to survive in a world where freedom is a distant dream and danger is a constant companion. Stripped of everything she once knew, El is forced to draw on newfound strengths and navigate a treacherous path, where the line between ally and enemy blurs, and trust is a rare commodity. Yet even in chains, El finds herself drawn into a larger game, where even the gods of old seek to shape her into a weapon—or destroy her altogether. As the storm of uncertainty gathers, El must decide not only how to survive, but how to reclaim her life and forge a destiny of her own making. The Storms Approach is a gripping start to an epic saga—a tale of endurance, hidden powers, and the relentless fight to break free from the forces that bind us. El's journey will push her to the brink, but the choices she makes will echo across the world of Eleshar.
