Raybearer

Raybearer (Ukrainian title: «Промененосна») by Jordan Ifueko is set in the empire of Aritsar, where every emperor has his Council of Eleven. Once the future ruler finds his trusted circle, the power of the Ray binds them to the emperor, letting them share thoughts and emotions, strengthen one another and rule wisely together. Just as nothing can separate the Council, nobody can kill the emperor — except the Council itself.

Tarisai was born with a single purpose: to join the crown prince's Council and kill him once he trusts her. What if she finds a true family among those she is meant to betray? In a world where magic binds souls and power feeds on betrayal, she must choose between obeying another's will and claiming her own. A West African-inspired young adult fantasy about belonging and choice.
