Secrets Etched in Stone

Stripped of his magic and branded an exile, a disgraced soldier must seek his only hope in the ruins of the broken continent.

Three hundred years ago, the emperor’s most sacred books on magic were stolen. A hundred years later, the loss of that knowledge broke the empire. Now, the continent of Albria is still contaminated with the magic they sought to control.

Quinn has grown up hearing tales of his late father’s expeditions to the continent and the perils he faced. But on the eve of his graduation from an order of warrior-mages, one wrong choice leads to his discharge, and his ability to advance his magic dissolves.

When the wind blows his estranged uncle’s ship into port, he offers Quinn a chance to retrace his father’s last footsteps on the broken continent. New evidence has come to light—the possible location of the emperor’s stolen books—and they’re not the only ones who know.

When the enemy’s cunning is revealed, Quinn questions what success will cost. Will he embrace duty, or will he hold onto his honor?
