Two brothers destined to change the world....
Aric and Fadan are half-brothers. Both sons of the empress, but only one of them is the son of the emperor. A decade earlier, Fadan's powerful father tore the empire in two by outlawing the use and practice of magic. When Aric and Fadan stumble upon an ancient manual of magic, they're faced with a choice: take the book straight to the emperor or see if one of them has the forbidden magical talent.
But dark forces are moving in the shadows. Tragedy and conspiracy send Aric and Fadan to opposite ends of the empire, one to train as a dragon hunter, the other to tap into magical powers that could spell his execution. In a world of dark mages, fearsome dragons, and vengeful gods, only friendship, loyalty, and love can keep the brothers from meeting their doom.
