If you could change your life by trusting in a stranger... would you?
Erevan has a problem. He grew up
on the unforgiving streets of Bogudos and has the scars to prove it. His
friend, however, is stuck in jail because of his mistake. But when a suspicious
courier offers him a chance to fix things, should he lift his sword and journey
across treacherous lands to aid her cause?
Meanwhile, Aireyal has been accepted into the
wealthiest and most prestigious magical school in all the land. There’s just
one problem. She can’t do magic. But that’s far from the only secret within the
walls of Darr-Kamo. And what she discovers might just change the world.
Swordsman & Sorcerer
Scholar & Spiritualist
All four have enemies. And all four need help to
get what they want. But help is never free.
This is not my usual genre and I enjoyed everything about this magical story. Main characters Aireyal and Ervan are brilliantly written. I love their chemistry and the adventures they take us on. Aireyal is a human who has been admitted to the most prestigious magic school, the only problem, she can’t do magic. Ervan is a mercenary in training and aspires to be like his father.
The descriptions of this fantasy world are fascinating and had me hooked! I literally could not put this book down, I wanted to know more! The author did a great job of building suspense while taking the reader on an adventure I won’t soon forget!
I look forward to reading more from this author and look forward to seeing how this series evolves.

About the Author
Ethan Avery believes in the power of stories.
As a
child growing up in Ohio, they gave him a chance to see a bigger world, and to
hear what life was like for people that didn’t look like him or believe what he
did. And now, years later, he hopes to do the same for others. When he's not
writing novels, directing movies, or wasting other people's time with his
YouTube channel, Ethan plays video games (poorly), basketball (painfully), and
D&D (problematically with praiseworthy peers). Send him a tweet
@StoriesByEthan, he loves nerding out!
