Helpless

Forty-thousand years after the fall of the Alaric Empire, Valgard has become a corrupt wasteland of a kingdom. The late king spent years protecting his crown, just to fall to his own curse. Now that his son has taken the crown, Penelope doesn’t believe things are as good as they seem.

How does the orphaned daughter of a city that gave her nothing more than a dirt floor shack and a life in a guild designed to kill orphans survive the impossible and become the kings apprentice? As it turns out, nothing is impossible when you are the only person alive who has power. When Penelope's mother discovered her power when she was three, she gave her one rule - hide it. But no amount of hiding can keep you from fate - even when that fate is undecided. She must travel across the sea to Cadenia where she meets the only people who can help her find the truth. Facing a giant sea dragon is just the start of this heroin's adventure as she learns the truth of her past and must decide where her heart lies.
