A Glimpse into Darkness

In the land of Liathil, where magic defines a person's worth and the gods rule from the heavens, Nikolas Blackheart is a prodigy-a magician born once in a millennium. Sent to an elite academy to hone his gifts, Nikolas finds himself drawn to someone forbidden: a woman from Ironhelm, Liathil's sworn enemy.

As tensions between the two nations erupt into war, Nikolas is thrust into an ancient conspiracy, one that predates his birth and entwines his fate with the gods themselves. To uncover his role in Liathil's destiny, he must embrace the divine power that marks him as chosen.

But the gods demand sacrifice. Faced with an impossible choice between the woman he loves and the path the gods have ordained, Nikolas must decide: will he submit to the will of the divine-or forge his own destiny, no matter the cost?
