Passing the Trials made Talin a Warrior. Becoming one is another matter.
Armed with two swords and a fighting style almost no one remembers, Talin leaves the Shattered Lands with Dezi in search of Kaelen—the only living Warrior known to have mastered twin blades.
Finding him is only the beginning.
The road carries Talin farther across Azaris than he has ever traveled, through unfamiliar lands, human settlements, and territories shaped by magic. Under Kaelen’s relentless training, he finally begins to discover the fighter he was meant to become.
Then something impossible changes the questions he has been asking.
A strange discovery. A raven that refuses to leave him alone. And a ruined city that should mean nothing to him.
Talin left home searching for a master who could teach him how to fight.
He may return carrying questions no Warrior can answer.
