Fifteen-year-old Eron Kaelis keeps to the shadows in the quiet village of Loryn. While his younger sister, Lyra, fills the streets with her laughter and charm, Eron fades into the background, burdened by a past he dares not share.
The Initiation Trials-a chance for the village youth to join the warrior clans-are approaching, and with them comes the weight of expectations Eron isn't sure he wants to meet. But beyond the village, the Flowlines-the ancient veins of energy that shape the world-are stirring. Whispers speak of the Ethereal Council, the enigmatic power that watches over Aetheris from the shadows, always present yet never seen.
In this world, some secrets are better left untouched, but Eron's may not stay hidden for long.
