"I can command storms, summon fire and unmake stone. Animals have nothing interesting to say, and no one can see the future because it has not been written," growled Balfruss. "It's dangerous to meddle with things you don't understand. When you fight magic with magic, nothing is certain."

Balfruss is a battlemage, one of a vanishing breed, sworn to fight and die for a country that fears and despises him.

Vargus is a soldier, and while mages shoot lightning from the walls of his city, he's down in the frontlines getting blood on his blade.

Talandra is a princess and her father's spymaster, but the war may force her to take up a greater responsibility and make the greatest sacrifice of all.

Known for their unpredictable, dangerous power, society has left battlemages untrained and shunned. But when a force unlike anything ever imagined attacks their home, the few remaining magic users must go to war - to save those who fear them most and herald in a new age of peace, built upon the corpses of their enemies.

Critic reviews

Stephen Aryan puts the epic into Epic Fantasy. This is a ground-shaking debut, full of fiery promise (Den Patrick, author of THE BOY WITH THE PORCELAIN BLADE)
Aryan's battle scenes are visceral masterpieces that transport the reader deep into the melee. Read. This. Book. (Taran Matharu, author of the Summoner series)

As an avid audio book listener and lover of the epic fantasy genre, it's not often I find a gem like this book. Not only was the tale enthralling, but it was well put together, the characters were amazing, and it was action packed, thrilling, with a side of sexy.

I hung on every word. . .

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Create a point to it all. It is boring because I just don't care about the characters or what happens to them.

Any additional comments?

Long and tedious. Can't recommend.

I really enjoyed Stephen Aryans Debut. He is already a favorite author of mine. It was nice to come back and read where he began.

Great narration and a solid debut

If you are looking for an adventure involving magic and well thought out magic mechanics, look elsewhere. Too many unnecessary characters that don't advance the story line. It's just boring.

Magic is an afterthought in this story.
