The Dark That Begins

His past brims with shattered memories. His next step could determine the fate of the world. Can this mage-in-training outwit a rival’s fatal traps?

Petrah can’t remember joy. Accustomed to the rituals of misery after four years of slavery, the stubborn fifteen-year-old still struggles to submit to his captors’ brutal cruelty. And though his mind has been wiped clean of his life outside captivity, the desperate young man seizes the opportunity to risk a daring escape.

Successfully eluding pursuit, Petrah is stunned when the headmaster of a school for magi offers him an apprenticeship. But as he battles through his difficult lessons, he quickly realizes that any slip-up could leave him vulnerable to his school rival’s deadly hostility. Yet, his greatest challenge lies in the dark prophecy that connects him to his brother, son of the God of Darkness. Destined to play a critical role in an ancient war, Petrah’s awakening powers may either save or doom the world.
