The Primal Rift

Cordelia has survived monsters, magic, and the terrifying opening of the Chaos Portal, but Ataraxia is still breaking apart. When she and her friends find Lykos, one of the missing Guardians, in the Great Library of Ataraxia, they hope he'll finally have the answers they need. Instead, they discover a deeper danger: hidden books, buried histories, mirror gods, and a Church of Serenity determined to protect peace-even if that means concealing the truth.With Drel, Pema, Kief, and Lykos at her side, Cordelia's search leads from golden cathedrals and enchanted forests to a frozen lake and the secret world of the waveborn. Along the way, old allies return, new bonds are tested, and the line between order and chaos grows harder to see. The Primal Rift has opened, and its power is tearing through the world one disaster at a time.To close it, Cordelia and her friends must face corrupted Guardians, ancient magic, and a force strong enough to reshape Ataraxia itself. But the closer they get to the truth, the more personal the danger becomes, and the more she realizes that saving the world may cost her the people she loves most.
