War is coming. The kingdom is not ready. Syl is.

Syl's first semester at the Aurian Magical Institute has been more eventful than he hoped for. With hundreds of Cascadian magicians dead in his wake, he realizes that peace is no longer an option. He and Bianca have had enough of war, but their names are still feared across the seas for a reason. They will not go gently.

As neighboring nations descend upon the kingdom and Auria starts to splinter apart on the inside, Syl realizes that this feud goes far deeper than a simple land grab. Something deeper is afoot, and the oncoming storm may plunge the entire world back into a war it can't afford.

Pride goes before the fall.

The Silent Archmage has returned.
