Grayden thought he had four years to decide his future… he was wrong. War is imminent. The Igyeum has already begun incursions across Telmondir’s borders. The headmaster of the military academy issues a new directive: all students will be fast-tracked through the program. They will be full-fledged defenders by the end of the year. But when a training exercise turns deadly, Grayden must keep his head and become the leader his friends need. Captain Marik has witnessed evil beyond imagining. Enough to make him sign on to the wizard Dalmir’s cause. But will the council of the west accept a pirate among their ranks? And will Marik’s crew join this mission, or will they consider him a traitor to all they once stood for? And deep in the mountains lurks a hidden danger that threatens them all.
Author
Are you looking to explore fantastical worlds and go on dangerous quests with relatable heroes and heroines? Are you looking for a way to escape the mundane or the difficult? Are you looking to find your true courage? Then come along with me on an epic adventure. We will face dragons (we might even ride them), we will pilot airships. We will fight pirates. We will wield magical swords. We will fight the forces of evil. And we will be home in time for dinner. But we will not go home unchanged. Fantastical adventures ahead, safe return doubtful! ABOUT THE AUTHOR: During the days, I wrangle four small hobbits and help them along on their adventures. Basically, I'm Gandalf. But come evenings, when the hobbits are sleeping... I become my alter-ego: PLOT WIZARD (still a wizard, just a different kind)... and adventures await in the pages I scribble upon. I'm a dreamer, a relentless opener of doors in the hope of someday finding passage to Narnia, and story girl. I love hanging out on Goodreads, but it's not the best for actual conversation.
