“There is clearly a much larger magical world waiting to be explored, and the glimpses this book provides left me excited to see how both the story and the world continue to grow. The characters are another strong point. They are fun, well-developed, and each has a distinct personality. I particularly appreciated that the characters make smart, believable decisions that feel consistent with who they are and the situations they find themselves in…I was completely drawn into the story and found myself wanting to keep reading…I’m already looking forward to the sequels.”

Carson Long, a reader of The Chosen Cycle

At long last, the end begins.

In northern Ravine, Faux Dezdes has a comfortable life. Farm work fills his days, but he's happy to provide for his family, who survived the destruction of their hometown years prior. Faux's world, however, is once again upended the night a monster finds him. He then meets two strangers, Persephone and Ollinair, who are tasked with taking him across the continent. Neither Faux nor his protectors know the reason why.

Along the journey, Faux discovers that his guides have another mission: to locate the Potentialists, magic-wielders of legend. Their powers may help win an upcoming war, and a queen's aid could facilitate the arduous search. But before the trio can reach Her Majesty, Faux will need to be kept safe from a Potentialist eager to prove himself. The race to Valljavin will unravel truths. How is Faux's tragic past tied to a stirring evil? What choices will he make in light of the answer?

Enter the world of Ravine, where deities once walked, and danger thrives.
