Believing

YA Romantasy • Hidden Worlds • Dangerous Truths • Love Under Fire Leath Elliott has survived fractured memories, shifting timelines, and a love that defies the laws of two worlds. But when James’s father disappears, one truth becomes impossible to ignore— they won’t stop until they bring him home. Returning to Judaculla should have meant familiar danger. Instead, Leath is forced to walk through literal fire just to cross the veil. And that’s only the beginning. Judaculla is unraveling. Someone close—too close—is entangled with the Elders in ways Leath never suspected. Old alliances rot from the inside. And when the truth finally surfaces, it arrives soaked in blood—a friend she trusted has committed murder. Now Leath and James are trapped in a world on the brink, forced to confront: • corruption spreading through the Elders’ ranks • secrets that have followed James since childhood • and the terrifying possibility that freedom may cost more than love can survive As enemies close in and loyalties fracture, love becomes their greatest strength— and their most dangerous vulnerability. Because in Judaculla, belief is power… and believing in the wrong person can get you killed. Believing is the fourth book in The Fading Series, a clean YA romantasy filled with hidden worlds, political intrigue, dangerous magic, and a slow-burn romance tested by loyalty, truth, and sacrifice.
