Every legend has a beginning. This is where heroes rise.

In Felix Mosse’s The Mistral, an ancient wind that grants magic is dying, threatening the balance of the realm. As war looms, Swan—daughter of a murdered queen—journeys to Lurella seeking answers about her past and her untamed power. When her path crosses with Fenne, a feared fighter in the city’s brutal duelling pit, they are drawn into a conspiracy that could decide the fate of their world.

In Marvellous Michael Anson’s Firstborn of the Sun, L’ore is the only person in her kingdom without the sun’s gift of magic. When her best friend is chosen for a divine role that will cost him his life, she unleashes a forbidden shadow power tied to a hidden land. Forced to flee, they uncover truths that could bring their entire world to its knees.

In V.L. Bovalino’s The Second Death of Locke, Grey Flynn has devoted her life to protecting her mage, Kier. But when a mission pulls them into the heart of a growing war, their bond is tested. For Grey is more than she seems—she is heir to the source of all magic—and if she falls, magic may fall with her.
