A BOND, BROKEN... Separated from the woman he loves, Varin struggles to catch up with the speed of war, magic, and betrayal. A realm away from what he desires most, he must decide what is most important to him: sanity under the veil of love, or power under the veil of solitude. ALLEGIANCES TURNED... With the Firstborn resurrected, Varin forms an allegiance with old and new faces, rousing the alliances of powerful men all across Denzethea. When word of war bleeds red, he realizes he can't ignore his fate any longer. A CROWN TAKEN Eyes set on a crown that is not his, Varin fights against mortal men and women with magic that the world had not seen for over three-hundred years. With power at his side, he will never have to sit idly by while those he loves most die. But at what point does power turn to cruelty?
