For centuries, the island of Koali has known only peace. Friends Akai, Ami, and Teo have grown up in harmony, untouched by war. But when invaders descend on their shores, the world they knew shatters overnight. Torn from his home, Akai must journey beyond Koali to train in the perilous ways of wizardry. Haunted by his mother's disappearance, burdened with the loss of his mentor's trust, and battling the lure of drink, he faces a dangerous choice: master his magic-or be mastered by it. Controversy brews when Akai finds out Teo may have been coerced into giving up his gift by his Master. How well does he know Charon? Can he trust him? Ami discovers her bravery, and slips through enemy lines to strike at their oppressors. While her daring acts ignite a flicker of hope in a conquered land, hope alone will not free Koali. Teo's Gift is the gripping first book in The Akai the Wizard Series, a gritty and spellbinding fantasy perfect for fans of The Keepers Trilogy by Jackie French Koller, The Hidden Wizard by Vaughan W. Smith, and A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. Begin your quest today.
