Soul Goblet J a Culican

She knows the written word is far sharper than the sword.

Rhiniya Luren is a highborn elf in the Low Forest regions. They're tasked with protecting the area and keeping everyone safe.

But with the prison crumbling, it's getting harder and harder to maintain safety. There are fewer locations unaffected by the ur'gel horde. More refugees are flooding their borders.

And the elven armies are preparing to gather.

But Rhiniya knows that somewhere buried in their past, in their histories and stories, there's a clue on how they will win this war. Books and knowledge aren't just things for the weak. They're powerful weapons in and of themselves.

But when she strikes out to seek that knowledge, her family pushes back, telling her to stay and marry and to create stronger alliances. She knows that isn't the path for her. Her story belongs in adventure. She was born for the hero tests.

She just never dreamed the Library would be her challenge.
