Books like Of blood and bone by Nora Roberts

After a global catastrophe called the Doom, Earth lies in ruin, its cities reclaimed and its people hunted by ruthless factions. In the midst of this shattered landscape, Fallon Swift, a girl on the brink of her thirteenth birthday, finds herself marked as "The One"—a bearer of untapped magic and a key to humanity’s salvation. Far from the ruins of her former home, Fallon joins a secret shelter deep in the forest where ancient mentors, led by the seasoned Mallick, teach her the old ways of healing, combat, and the arcane arts. As she wrestles with faerie, elven, and shifter allies, Fallon learns that her true nature extends beyond ordinary power, and that her destiny is tied to a time when she must wield the sword and confront the forces of light and dark. “Of Blood and Bone” weaves a tale of coming‑of‑age, mystical tradition, and the fight for a future in a world where every step closer to the truth risks the lives of those she loves.
