Deception of the Future by Julia Aberg
 
Months after the ambush in Tamrin, Ellie is starting to piece herself back together. But the prophecy still looms, threatening to break her before she can rise.

Hoping to escape a fate she never chose, Ellie and her friends set out to find the hidden kingdom of Menath—only to make a devastating discovery.

Left behind in the human realm, Lucas and Jen refuse to let Ellie go. As they fight to reach her across worlds, their journey becomes a race against time and a true test of loyalty that could change everything.

With the fragile grip on her new reality unraveling, Ellie must confront the darkness rising within her—a force so powerful that, if left unchecked, it will consume her and bring ruin to both realms.
