The Unopened Tome (The Beginning, #1)

In the quiet village of Eldergrove, fourteen-year-old Clara Hawthorne longs for something more than routine lessons and cobbled streets. Her restless heart craves adventure, though she never expects to find it in Barnaby‘s Curiosities-an old bookstore filled with forgotten tales. When Clara discovers a mysterious emerald tome, its blank pages begin to shimmer with a story that feels strangely alive. The tale of a young prince unfolds before her eyes, pulling Clara into a world of magic, secrets, and mirrors that reflect more than just her face-they reveal her deepest fears. Guided by whispers of courage and challenged by trials in a garden of wonders, Clara must confront the shadows within herself to discover who she truly is. But every story has a cost, and once the tome‘s pages are opened, there is no turning back. Perfect for readers who love coming-of-age fantasy, enchanted worlds, and tales of courage and self-discovery, The Unopened Tome is the beginning of a magical journey where every page turns into possibility.
