The Spires of Will: Book 1

The Veil is breaking, war is coming, and the Orythals are running for their lives. Their daughter is the key to a dark and terrible power—one that could cost her everything.

In the Spire of Sorvast, rulers scheme to stop a heretic from tearing magic apart to forge a weapon against the oppressive Azrithar City.

Some truths should have stayed buried. Because if they rise, there will be nothing left to save.
