Nature's Design Book One by Sarah McVeigh
After the sudden death of her mother, Ceto stumbles into another world, Natus. A broken world ruled by the elements and fate.
Through their hatred of one another, the four races of Natus have allowed their world to succumb to the malice. Fated to unite the four races, what follows is an epic string of events that leads Ceto to question her leadership, her strength, and herself.
What if embracing the darkness isn't so bad after all?
