Book One is, at its core, about survival in all its forms: physical, emotional, cultural. Sloane’s journey asks what it means to carry heritage from two worlds and be claimed by neither. It’s a story about found family, the ache of being underestimated, and the kind of grit it takes to challenge systems designed to keep you small.
Yes, there are battles and magical beasts and dramatic trials (with very real consequences). But this story also lingers in the quiet places—friendships forged under pressure, moments of doubt, and the subtle power of choosing to keep going even when the odds are against you.
“Schemes, Steel, and Starlight—The Ethural Mountains Await.”
Perched on jagged coastal cliffs and powered by the tides, the University of Bellowing Seas trains the realm’s most gifted mages, sages, and sea-faring folk. With enchanted towers, coral archways, and mana-churning water wheels, it’s a haven of arcane tradition and brutal trials. Only the bold survive the island expeditions, magical duels, and academic rigor that define its elite ranks.
