Chronicles of MikZell: Book 1 — The Breaking Heart

How do you keep living when everything you were living for is gone? Makenna had a life she understood. A home. A man she loved. A child on the way. A future being built one ordinary day at a time. Then an earth dragon rises from beneath their fields. In a single terrible moment, the life Makenna was building is destroyed, leaving behind a grief so deep that she walks away from everything she has ever known. She has no destination, no plan, and no desire to be found. Only Leo remains beside her as the road carries her farther from home and farther from the woman she used to be. But the world is changing. Fields no longer hold as they should. People stop halfway through things they once knew how to finish. Small fractures appear in ordinary life, and Makenna begins to recognize something others cannot. Something is wrong. And somehow, she can feel where the world is breaking. What begins as a journey through unbearable loss becomes the beginning of something far greater. Makenna does not set out to become a hero, a leader, or anything at all. She simply keeps walking. And wherever she goes, things that have stopped begin to continue again. The Breaking of the Heart begins The Chronicles of MikZell, an epic fantasy journey of grief, healing, dragons, ancient mystery, choice, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going when the life you expected is gone.
