LILIA OF GABHARU. A Lesbian Epic Fantasy of Ancient Magic and Ruin - C.G. STARLING

The world of Gabharu is dying.

Once, the skies shimmered with magic, crystal sanctuaries protected the land, and ancient kingdoms thrived beneath floating lanterns and glowing rivers.

Now, villages burn beneath red storms.

Monsters roam the ruins.

And something ancient is waking beneath the world.

Lilia was never meant to become part of any legend.

She was only a farmer's daughter from the quiet village of Elarin-powerless, frightened, and dreaming of adventures far beyond her small life.

Until the night everything was taken from her.

When the monstrous force known as Ghetu destroys her home and kills her family, Lilia is left with nothing except grief... and a mysterious crystal pendant tied to forgotten magic.

Haunted by loss and driven by the need to survive, she begins a dangerous journey across the collapsing world of Gabharu, searching for answers hidden within ancient sanctuaries and ruined kingdoms.

But she does not travel alone.

Along the way, she meets Anquilia-a guarded healer carrying wounds and secrets of her own. As darkness spreads across the land, the bond between them slowly grows from fragile trust into something far deeper.

Together, they must face:
Ancient magic
Corrupted monsters
Forgotten sanctuaries
A world breaking beneath the skies
And a love that may become their greatest strength
