In the Heartland of Selta, young Rordan the artist just wants to help his gallant brother Fikna advance. The two of them leave home together by river to find adventure in another settlement, under the pretense of Rordan studying at Regol Coros Academy to become a sage in alchemy.
Along the way they meet Kea the drifter, who does her best to get the two brothers killed. Rordan finds himself having hallucinations that get weirder the closer he gets to Regol Coros, or is it really magic he sees leaking out into the ordinary world?
Whatever is going on, Rordan needs to find out Kea’s secret and fast. Demons are pressuring him to serve evil or die! However, can either of them pay the price of discovery that magic brings?

Take this adventure! I loved reading this story because it not only had action and adventure, but it also had introspection and depth. The dialogue is well-crafted and the characters, especially Rordan (and Borus!) are ones I enjoyed traveling with. This story is immersive and hard to put down! Looking forward to more from this author.
