The Elf Who Would Become A Dragon

Saphienne's idyllic elven life shatters when she glimpses the hidden suffering beneath her people's veneer of perfection. Told she was superior, loved, eternal—she believed it until her gifts revealed the truth. Defiant, she abandons the woodlands' hollow paradise to pursue wizardry, wrestling with both magic and morality as she forges her own path. Her brilliance becomes her rebellion. But power demands sacrifice, and as Saphienne ascends, she loses what she cherishes—until the elves, threatened by her transformation, erase her from history. Yet fire leaves ashes, and from them, legends rise. The question remains: will she burn the world to save it, or be consumed by the flames she unleashed?
