The Lost Kingdom of Umbravivus
(2026)(The first book in the Curse of Helaerra series)
A novel by Cassandra Doon
Magic, Curses and a Lost Kingdom.
Princess Fern of Aquaraia has been sheltered her entire life—until the day she's sent into the Blight to die. For centuries, the four kingdoms have sent their young to Aetherfall Academy, a brutal proving ground surrounded by a cursed wasteland teeming with infected. Survival is not guaranteed. Power is everything. And the truth is far more dangerous than the monsters lurking beyond the gates.
Unprepared and alone, Fern must navigate a world where every lesson could be her last, where alliances are forged in blood, and where the boy tasked with training her, seems determined to break her.
But as Fern uncovers the lies woven into the kingdoms' histories, she realizes the Blight is not what she was taught. The infected are not mindless monsters. And the greatest threat may not be the creatures hunting her in the dark—but the kingdoms that sent her there in the first place.
Will she risk everything to fight for a truth that could shatter the world she knows?
Welcome to Helaerra.
A world where secrets have been buried for centuries.
Where kingdoms have fallen.
And where one bloodline was never meant to survive.
