Two worlds entwined. A journey across time and space. Two men who will do anything to resurrect what they've lost. A boy who yearns to be accepted by his people, and an Eldritch secret that haunts his past. The last war is on the horizon. Fifteen processions ago, Sage's father left the City of Yce Ralakar soaked in blood as the result of a failed coup. With otherworldly enemies searching for the remnants of the once great Sulekiel Empire, the High Elder has declared that all Sulekiel youth must enter a deadly test of strength and otherworldly power to prepare for that war. Now, with his father's legacy constantly being thrown in his face, Sage of Yce Ralakar must prove himself in the Trials. But, will strength and power be enough? Will the Council of Elders let him succeed? Or will his father's crimes haunt him for the rest of his days?
