​
Magic is weakening. Lord Valeran’s dominion is growing. And the balance that holds the world together is breaking.
Deep in the mines of Highstone Hollow, seventeen-year-old Kieran has spent his life chipping away at stone, never questioning the pulse of power that hums beneath his fingertips—until the visions start. A battle lost to time. Seven titans bound in elemental fury. A warning whispered through the void: Find the light before the shadow does.
​
When Kieran and his closest friends are thrust into a struggle far greater than themselves, they must unravel the truth behind the Elderstones, ancient relics that once sealed away a power too great for any one ruler. But Valeran has his own designs on the fading magic of Iskildor, and if he succeeds, the world will be reshaped in his image—bound, broken, and utterly under his rule.
​
As war looms and forgotten forces stir, Kieran must embrace the destiny he never sought. Because if the Guardians do not rise again, neither light nor shadow will survive what comes next.
​
A sweeping epic of defiance, destiny, and the struggle for balance.
