The Heart of the Dawn

<p>In a world where light is fading and ancient powers sleep beneath the earth <strong>one broken sigil-bearer</strong> is destined to change everything-if his past doesn't devour him first.</p><p><strong>Joseph Joe Moro</strong> was sealed as a child bound by a corrupted fire-sigil that twists every attempt at magic into destruction. Branded dangerous. Called a <em>Devourer</em>. Feared even by those he tries to protect. His only refuge is the memory of a silver-haired figure who once whispered impossible lessons-visions he has convinced himself were only dreams.</p><p>When a tragedy shatters the last temple holding the world's balance Joe's fragile control breaks with it. Rumors spread. Old enemies rise. And the darkness inside him begins to awaken. To survive Joe must relearn the teachings he barely remembers and confront the truth of the power burning in his chest: <strong>he is not cursed-he is changing.</strong></p><p>Far from the ruins <strong>Cheri</strong> a gifted but overlooked village healer has spent her life being dismissed as simple even by her own family. But when she follows a calling she cannot explain she crosses paths with Joe-and nothing in either of their lives stays the same. Her compassion reaches him long before her magic does and her quiet courage becomes the first light Joe has felt in years.</p><p>Together they face rising threats: a spreading corruption an ambitious young villain shaped by pride and praise a teacher lost to the void and a prophecy twisted by fear. Joe's sigil grows more unstable with every passing day while Cheri discovers that her own power is far more than healing-it is the key to guiding Joe toward the truth of what his magic was meant to be.</p><p>But the closer they grow the more dangerous Joe becomes. Every act of heroism drains him. Every surge of power scars him. And every memory of silver light risks unraveling the seal that still holds the darkness at bay.</p><p>When love and destiny finally collide a single whispered revelation will reshape both their futures:</p><p><strong>He will not become the Destroyer.</strong></p><p><strong> He is the Heart of the Dawn.</strong></p><p><strong><em>The Heart of the Dawn</em></strong> is a sweeping romantasy filled with elemental magic healing broken destinies found-family loyalty and a love story forged between a gentle healer and the boy the world feared into a monster.
