In a world divided between the Hero Realm and the Beasts of the Beyond, power determines place.
Across three great regions, techniques and abilities are passed down through generations, shaping the three regions into unique civilizations that handle culture, traditions, and even technology differently.
Between the three regions is the Central Districts. A place of education for the youth to prepare them for their duties to the Hero Realm. As graduation approaches, Joran, eighteen years old, is about to take the life-changing Exam. An assessment meant to measure potential and assign purpose, Joran desires no such purpose. He wants only a quieter life, untouched by the larger world.
But potential is not something that can be ignored.
Nascence is the opening volume of An Observer's Destiny. An epic fantasy trilogy about latent power, identity, and choice.
