Gavin’s connection to a new power makes him a target.

Having defeated Chauvan, Gavin now controls the strange destructive nihilar power. Though content back among his friends, his presence in Yoran makes the city a target.

When Gavin learns that an ancient enemy has returned to target the El’aras, he wants to help, but doing so exposes Yoran to whatever Chauvan plans. He’s learned he can’t defeat Gavin alone, but what kind of allies will he find? Ancient powers are active in the world, and they all seem intent on destroying Gavin.

As preparations go awry, Gavin finds himself far from those he vowed to protect. To return, he must come to understand everything he’s been taught about magic—all while unable to reach it.

He’s been many things in his life. Assassin. Chain Breaker. Champion. Now he must find a way to be something more.

If he fails, all he cares about will fall.

The sacred temples have fallen. A new sacred swordmaster must rise.

The sacred temples have been destroyed and neither the Leier or the Koral are safe in their traditional lands any longer.

When the Sul’toral continue their attack on the Leier homeland using enchantments and deadly creatures, she must find a way to lead her people to safety.

She suspects Timo’s involvement but the truth is much worse. What she learns upends all she’s known about sorcery and those who weild it.

When neither her mastery of the sacred patterns or her newly gifted Porapeth magic is enough, Imogen must find a way to be more than a sacred swordmaster or all her people will be destroyed.

Gavin must stop a man who shares his training and abilities.

Gavin has left the only friends he’d ever made to study his El’aras magic. Though he may share their heritage, he quickly learns that he’s not El’aras.

When an attack targets them, and has the ability to counter any El’aras ability, Gavin is all that prevents certain devastation.

Understanding the attack and who is behind it leads Gavin to uncover the truth about his mentor—and there is much Tristan never shared.

There has been another Champion, and he’ll stop and nothing to claim a destructive power he believes he’s fated to control.

Only Gavin stands in his way. Though Gavin might not be the first Champion, he is the only Chain Breaker.

A dark power that attacks Yoran leads Gavin on a dangerous journey.

Gavin remains in Yoran while struggling to master his El’aras abilities. With the power of the strange ring that grants him even more power, he knows he has to learn control, otherwise he’ll destroy the city while trying to protect it.

When the hyadan, creatures of dark sorcery, come to the city, Gavin has to make a choice between staying to learn control over his power or helping Imogen. For him, that’s no choice at all.

Chasing the hyadan leads them deeper into Imogen’s past, and challenges Gavin more than he thought possible. The price of failure is greater than only one city. If he can’t learn to control his El’aras magic—and the power of the ring—the dark power will spread and destroy all magic in the world.

The arrival of a dangerous sorcerer forces Gavin to confront his past.

As Gavin works with the El’aras to master his connection to the ring, he learns of an El’aras prophecy that speaks of the Shard and a Champion.

One must destroy the other.

Though Gavin doesn’t believe in prophecy, he can’t deny that he’s caught up in something greater than he understands—and begins to suspect he’s been guided toward his fate.

The arrival of a powerful sorcerer tests Gavin’s belief. If he can’t stop the Sul’toral, he might have no choice but to fulfill the ancient prophecy and destroy someone he’s come to deeply care about.

Imogen is something more than the First of the Blade. Now she must understand it.

Having thwarted a Porapeth plan, Imogen struggles to understand the gift that Benji gave her. She has knowledge that she could never have imagined, but for her to lead, she needs understanding.

When Imogen finds herself chasing after her brother once again, she isn't sure what he's after. Power, but from where?

The answer reveals a new truth to Imogen, and it's one that might be enough for her to lead the Leier and Koral—or destroy them.

Taught to fear magic. Trained from a young age to destroy those who wield it. The First of the Blade Series begins.

Trained to destroy sorcery from a young age, Imogen Inaratha left that life behind, having come to see magic differently. When her brother asks for help, she embarks on a dangerous journey—and must face a part of her past she wanted to forget.

An encounter with one of the mythical Porapeth changes the course of the journey. Protecting him forces her to face dark magical creatures and a powerful sorcerer determined to destroy the Porapeth in his quest for even more power.

To succeed, she must learn the truth of the blade she’d long thought she’d mastered.

She must truly become the First of the Blade.
