Born of Water

A failed duty. A forbidden magic. An epic journey begins.

In the world of Myrrah, elemental magic is not just a gift but a destiny. Ria, a young girl who has always hidden her forbidden powers, finds her life unraveling when she calls upon magic to save her best friend’s life. She discovers there is something worse than being able to control water, air, fire, or earth—there is another power, one that is forbidden, and its use is punishable by death.

The Church of Four Orders rules Myrrah with an iron fist, controlling those born with elemental abilities and condemning those with the gift of magic. Ria must flee everything she has known to outrun a creature sent to capture those who use tainted magic. Her best chance of success lies in the protection of Niri, an outcast Water Priestess who might choose to betray her as much as help her.

Haunted by the potential of a young girl with powers untold, Niri must choose between her loyalty to the Church and the life of an innocent. With the Curse—a relentless creature sent to eliminate magic users—closing in, Niri joins forces with Ria and her best friend, Lavinia, and her brother, Ty, a runaway with secrets of his own. Together, they embark on a perilous journey across the sea to the fabled Temple of Dust, seeking answers and refuge.

As the group navigates a land filled with danger and ancient magic, Ria must discover just what is the magic she controls and why the Church of Four Orders wants anyone born with it killed before they capture her. Their journey tests the limits of their endurance and the bonds of their friendship as they uncover the truth about their powers and their place in the world.

Born of Water is the thrilling first installment in the Rise of the Fifth Order series—a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of friendship in the face of insurmountable odds. Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Mercedes Lackey, Anne McCaffrey, and Andre Norton will be captivated by this fast-paced epic fantasy in a richly detailed world full of unforgettable characters.

About the Author

Autumn (also known as Weifarer and Autumn Raven) is a travel and fiction writer currently based in Maine where she lives in a small cottage lost in the woods, which she built with her husband and with the supervision (and approval) of two Cairn terriers.
With a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bucknell University in Studio Arts and English, Autumn once considered a career in illustration. However, an ecology course at Virginia Tech led to a Master of Science degree in Ecology and Environmental Sciences from the University of Maine in Orono. After graduation with her M.S., Autumn has worked for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. This was a great job that not only let her help the environment and protect local agriculture, but also gave her a paycheck big enough to support her writing habit until finally … at long last she is now a full time writer and on-line educator!
