Y/n has always believed she is nothing more than a village healer with unusually powerful magic. Then she saves the life of Commander Rowan Hayes and is brought to the royal capital, where ancient wards awaken at her touch and a grieving family recognizes the little girl they lost twenty-one years ago. Y/n is not merely a healer. She is Princess y/n of Asterwyn—the missing third of a set of royal triplets and the first Heartborn born in centuries, gifted with the power to command life itself. As y/n struggles to rebuild relationships with the parents and brothers she cannot remember, her healing magic begins evolving into something far more dangerous. Across the continent, an ancient corruption is spreading, poisoning forests, magic, and people alike. Only y/n can stop it. But every life she saves costs something. And when the truth behind the Heartborn prophecy is finally uncovered, y/n realizes saving her family and her world may require the one thing she has only just learned is worth protecting. Her own life.
