Calysandor Chronicles: Crimson Shadows: Volume 1: Chronicles 1

She was raised believing she was ordinary. She was wrong.Found as an infant in the ashes of a village that no longer exists, a young healer sets out to learn where she came from - and stumbles onto a truth far bigger than herself. Her people once guarded a power said to command the elements themselves. That power vanished the night everyone she should have known was slaughtered - or so their killers believed. No one was supposed to survive. Not even the infants.She won't face it alone. A veteran soldier counting down to a retirement he keeps postponing. A ranger sharper than anyone gives her credit for. A young warrior who'd burn the world down for the people he loves. A brilliant, awkward mind who sees the world in numbers no one else can follow. And a mercenary carrying secrets that could unravel everything the moment they're spoken aloud.Together, they cross land, open water, ancient ruins, and a city built on charm and quiet corruption - chasing answers that lead somewhere none of them expected.Some inheritances are worth dying for. This one was worth killing for.
