Book 3 in the Shades of Aura series.

Blurb:

In the wake of a cold and crushing betrayal, Yaron and his companions drift across the sea… wounded, directionless, and haunted by war.

But as the flames of loss still burn, the Empathy Aura finds them. A flicker of hope ignites. Deep within the Coral Forest, the legendary city of Motifer finally reveals itself. Yet its gates may not open without unearthing truths from Yaron’s past—truths that could change everything.

With new mystical beasts and ancient magic awakening, the Toterrum Trilogy reaches its breathtaking finale. New revelations about Aura—and Biome’s twisted history—will finally come to light.

Will Yaron free Toterrum… or lose himself to it?
