Perfect for you if...

  • You love grimy military fantasy where mages are weapons, not heroes, and the cost of power matters.
  • You want multiple POVs showing how war looks completely different from the ramparts versus the front lines.
  • You're after epic scope without losing sight of individual characters and what they actually stand to lose.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need a love story at the heart of your fantasy. Talandra's political scheming is the focus, not romance.
  • You prefer high magic systems explained in detail. This is about what mages can do, not the theoretical mechanics.
  • You want a standalone. This is book one of a series and ends on threads that demand continuation.

About this book

Balfruss is a battlemage with command over storms, fire, and stone, sworn to fight and die for a country that fears and despises mages. Vargus is a common soldier fighting on the front lines while mages attack from the city walls. Talandra is a princess and spymaster who may be forced to risk everything and make a great sacrifice. The novel follows these three characters as magic and warfare collide in an epic fantasy story.
