Born from tragedy and raised in scorn, Luneth Radvell never belonged—not to his noble family, not to his father, and not to the legacy forced upon him. Branded as a burden on the prestigious Radvell name, his only escape comes when his kind but distant stepbrother sends him across the sea to the powerful kingdom of Nytheris.
Now en route to the famed Halcymer Order—an elite institution of magical knights founded by the king’s followers—Luneth finds himself on a path he never asked for, burdened by a past that won’t let go.
But fate doesn’t wait.
When a monstrous entity erupts in the heart of the city, Luneth and an unexpected ally—Lid Grimvale, a noble with a reckless charm and a penchant for trouble—are thrown into chaos before even setting foot in the Halcymer order. Together, they must fight to survive, unaware that their meeting is only the spark that will ignite something far greater.
Dark secrets, mysterious powers, and a war between legacy and destiny loom on the horizon. And for Luneth, the road to Halcymer may be paved in blood, fire, and the truth of who he really is.
