The Portal

For Elara Thornfield a maid with an adventurous heart trapped in the suffocating quiet of Greystone Manor life was an unopened book. She dreamed of quests and faraway lands never imagining her own was about to begin in a dusty forgotten room. A shimmering portal humming with ancient power whisks her away to a world beyond her wildest fantasies. Here in the magnificent sunken city of Aquaria she finds not only elemental magic but the secretive merman Prince Lysander who believes her arrival is more than mere chance. As a forbidden romance blossoms and a dormant power awakens within her Elara learns she is the key to an ancient prophecy. But the portal that brought her here is also a gateway for a dark ambition that threatens to consume both worlds.
