Lukas has lived in the small, isolated village of Rosehallow for as long as he can remember. Now, at the age of 16, he is being forced to join the Ferlandian army in their war against the non-humans. Although it is what he spent his whole life training for, nothing could have prepared him for the outside world. From magic and mystery to non-human races and powerful noble families; Lukas will have to navigate a path and discern for himself what is right and worth fighting for.
