Description
'Stephen Aryan puts the epic into Epic Fantasy' – Den Patrick
The land is in turmoil.
Mages are hunted by men and gods alike.
With their last refuge fallen, two young mages must conspire against a god to show the world that their abilities aren't a curse; they are the only way to ensure lasting peace.
Under the threat of anti-magic fanatics, Wren struggles to find her place as a leader and to keep her people safe as they build a new home. Danoph searches for answers on a spiritual journey, determined to find out who he really is and where he came from in an effort to calm the coming storm.
The world has turned against mages, yet only they can save it.
'Aryan's battle scenes are visceral masterpieces that transport the reader deep into the melee' – Taran Matharu
