A single heartbeat stands between creation and collapse. Lyria has always been drawn to ancient metal and forgotten ruins-but when a dormant Forge awakens at her touch, the world begins to fracture. Hunted by the Hollow Circle, an order determined to end reality itself, Lyria discovers a terrifying truth: she is not merely chosen by the Forge-she is its living Heartbeat. As void-fire spreads and the sky itself breaks open, she must learn to forge not with fire, but with her soul. Alongside Vaelor, a dragon prince born with a fractured flame, Lyria faces betrayal, war, and a choice no mortal should ever bear.
When extinction is offered as mercy, will she burn herself into the Forge- or reforge reality on her own terms? The Astral Forge Chronicles: Book One is an epic fantasy filled with dragons, ancient magic, mythic worldbuilding, sacrifice, and cinematic battles.
