The Shardbound Chronicles: Initiate
Five initiates. One legacy that doesn't want to stay buried.
Kael never asked to be chosen. When a letter meant for someone else summons him to Caelwyn Academy-a place where stone remembers and air holds grudges-he joins four strangers bound by powers they don't yet understand.
Lira, who commands heat but refuses to be consumed by it.
Thane, whose discipline is both armor and cage.
Rev, who hides truth inside his charm and jokes that almost save him.
Isha, who hears the past whisper through walls and learns what silence costs.
And Kael, who can steady the air itself-but at a price that grows heavier each time he says "enough."
Together, they uncover the remnants of the lost Wardens-keepers of balance who once held the world's harm in their own bodies. But the echoes beneath the Academy are waking, and the bond that keeps the five alive might be the same force that breaks them.
Rich with lyrical prose and deeply human magic, Initiate begins an epic saga about friendship as resistance, power as burden, and the kind of love that doesn't ask for destiny's permission.
For readers of The Name of the Wind, The Poppy War, and The Atlas Six-Initiate invites you into a world where wonder has teeth, and hope is something you learn to hold together.
