THE PLOT

MUCH HAS BEEN LOST, BUT BLOOD DOES NOT FORGET. AND WHILE THE OLD BLOOD REMEMBERS, WHAT ONCE WAS MAY YET BE AGAIN…
The Hallowed Land, they called it. A bastion of light that stood throughout the Age of Discord, where none went hungry and peace was a promise to all. But when the Hallowed Land fell, that promise was shattered. The earth itself became tainted. No one has set foot within its borders in over a thousand years. Until now.
Healerโs apprentice Asa OโDair would follow his adopted brother Kael anywhere. Even on a reckless jaunt into the Tainted Land. There, Asa spills blood on its once-hallowed soil, unleashing a cataclysmic force that corrupts the sun and awakens a terrifying power inside him. One others would kill to control. Or die to defend.
Whisked away from their quiet life by the Graceborn, who can wield the worldโs latent energy, the brothers find themselves tangled in a plot to destabilise the Ten Dominions. Graceborn are going missing. Civil war brews in the north. And in the shadows, an enemy thought vanquished watches, because Asaโs powerโand Kaelโs mysterious lineageโis the sign their time has come.
