When her power awakens (Saving Taiamen) by Brenna Bustamante

She was told she was nothing.

Invisible. Replaceable.

But what if the girl they tried to break is the most powerful being alive?

Kenna has spent her life invisible, starving in the forgotten district of Madyor and shielding her siblings from a violent father. Survival has always meant silence, sacrifice, and bruises hidden beneath long sleeves.

She was never meant to matter. She was never meant to be powerful.

Until the night the power answers her rage.

In a kingdom where the government secretly hunts Conjurers during the annual Krag Vinde celebration, power is not a blessing. It is a death sentence. When elemental power explodes from Kenna’s body, it forces her to flee the only home she has ever known.

The government hunts people who can manipulate water, air, fire, or earth. They never expected someone who could handle it all.

Zander, her fiercely loyal best friend with dangerous secrets of his own, becomes her only ally as they escape into a world far larger and far crueller than Madyor. A world ruled by political corruption, elite warriors, and a capital built on control and fear.

Kenna is no ordinary Conjurer.

She is the first Dominum in five hundred years, able to command all four elements.

But power does not feel like triumph. It feels like ash on her hands. It feels like guilt. It feels like becoming something ancient and terrifying.

Some girls inherit crowns. She inherited powers.

Now hunted across districts and pursued by forces determined to control or eliminate her, Kenna must decide whether to suppress the magic burning inside her or embrace it and risk becoming the storm the kingdom fears.

Because in Taiamen, power has always belonged to the elite.

Until now...
