Bloodlines of Solvasthar

Two boys turn eighteen on the same night, and the Tohzar Empire has been waiting for it.

Drail and Leif are twins who have never met. Drail was raised in occupied Irida as Drail Thorne, by a guardian who taught him to hunt and fight. Leif was raised in Hollowglen among a scholar’s books, wearing a ring he cannot account for. Their grandfather was Matois Julithus, the greatest Spiritwoven the Alliance ever produced, and the Empire has hunted what remains of his house for fourteen years.

A child born with Arcanergy becomes a mage on their eighteenth birthday, in an eruption that cannot be hidden. That is why the Tohzar Empire summons every child to take the Test on the night they come of age. Roland, the Spiritwoven who carried Alystheria’s mantle, has just fallen at Highwall, and the road to the Temple of Nembriya lies open. The Goddess of Unity needs a new champion, and King Torvaldris intends to find the twins before she can.
