Brijeaten : And The Venom of Authority

Brijeaten is a land ruled by law, where power is a responsibility, not a birthright. At the heart of it all is Akki-a precise and controlled power, gifted by the Old Source, Antkye, and upheld by the High Judge's office. It is the foundation of prosperity and the protector of its people, ensuring strength never descends into chaos. But there's a rebellion stirring. The younger generation, disillusioned with Akki's control, has begun turning to magic-a dangerous, forbidden force born of Borren, the Old Enemy. For some, it's a path to freedom. For others, it's a recipe for disaster.

In the midst of this growing unrest stands Stampleigh Lyonzel, the youngest Akki hopeful in history, caught between two worlds. Raised in a family of successful Akki practitioners, Stampleigh is expected to uphold the family legacy. But as a mysterious killer threatens the land, and a charming stranger entices him toward the reckless allure of magic, Stampleigh must choose: will he embrace Akki's regulated power, gifted by Antkye, or succumb to the dangerous temptation of magic, born of Borren?*
