How Does Talima Influence The Wheel Of Time Plot?

Orenda was created by the God of Destruction to protect the people of the world from the shadow demons known as eyti that now plague it. For thousands of years she - alongside her brother - fulfilled this sacred duty with ease...until now. Never in her millennia did Orenda dream she would be blessed with a soulmate. She was even less prepared when her soulmate turned out to be none other than the creator of the very beings she was created to fight; the God of Malice, Azadou. Azadou is cold, uncaring and has a deep hatred of the Gods. Everyone keeps telling her to stay far away and reject him, but like the pull of two opposing magnets, these two cosmic beings can't resist the draw to each other. As Orenda puts her heart, soul and dignity on the line to win the heart of her destined half, a new and mysterious threat emerges... Something sinister is afoot and it has big plans for Orenda. Orenda will find herself in the most tempestuous fight of her life, with the stakes higher than anything she could have imagined. Will she come out victorious and achieve her happily ever after? Or find herself at the centre of a dark parable with no happy ending in sight? This is the 7th book in the God's Saga.

Now three kings want to claim her… and the secret she carries could shatter kingdoms.* Elysia Belrose has spent her entire life as nothing—scentless, powerless, invisible. The night her mother dies, she drowns her grief in the arms of a brutal stranger who makes her feel wanted for one perfect moment… before shattering her: *“Don’t get the wrong idea. This didn’t mean anything.”* Two years later, she finally finds hope when Killian, the Alpha’s son, claims her as his mate. She tells herself she can earn his love. She’s wrong. When she discovers him in bed with the Alpha King’s daughter, her rejection provokes his rage.

The one who broke her. Rhaegar Draven. The Alpha King. He doesn’t want her. He doesn’t believe in second chances. But when she begs for 99 days of protection, he agrees to one condition: she stays silent, obedient, and out of his way. Except Elysia is hiding something that pulses beneath her skin, growing stronger with each passing moon. A forbidden bloodline. A secret pregnancy. And a truth that makes her the most dangerous woman alive. Three men are hunting her—one who wants to reclaim her, one who wants to breed her, and one who’s trying to convince himself he doesn’t want to burn the world down to keep her. But Rhaegar’s wolf knows what he refuses to admit: she’s his. His mate. His queen. His salvation and his ruin. In 99 moons, everything will change.

The moment our magic touched, something shifted. My shadows didn’t fight his light this time. They reached for it instead, curling around the gold like they belonged there. “Lyra,” Kaelen said quietly, closer than I expected, “don’t force it.” “I’m not,” I whispered. That was the problem. I wasn’t controlling it at all. The connection deepened—raw, seamless, alive—threading through me like it had always been there. No resistance, balance. Just power. His gaze locked on mine, sharp with something I couldn’t ignore. “You feel that too,” I said. “Yes.” The answer came instantly. And it unsettled me. Because if he felt it too… then this wasn’t just my power. It was something else. Something neither of us understood. And for the first time since my magic awakened—I wasn’t sure if it made me stronger… or more dangerous. ---- Lyra Vale never asked for power. But when the crystal chose her, something ancient awakened—shadow magic thought to be dead for centuries. Feared. Forbidden. Alive inside her. Sent to the Royal Magic Academy under strict control, Lyra is told to suppress it. To become safe. But her magic refuses to be controlled. It grows. Prince Kaelen is the only one strong enough to counter it—his light magic the perfect balance to her shadows. He was meant to contain her. Instead, he becomes the only thing keeping her grounded. But something is wrong inside the Academy. Students are losing control. Hidden forces are moving beneath the surface. And someone is always watching Lyra. The truth is worse than rebellion or dark magic. Lyra was never meant to control the shadows. She was meant to awaken them. And when the truth comes out, she won’t just choose between light and darkness— She’ll decide who she becomes.
