Black Obsidian
In the heart of the ruthless Solkarian Empire, where power is law and dissent is met with steel, Kaelis Valeran is a survivor of her own damnation. Branded a traitor for wielding the forbidden magic of the Obscuralis, she was torn from her home and imprisoned in the fortress of Vareth-a place where pain is a lesson and obedience is carved into flesh. Five years later, she no longer remembers the girl she once was. She has become a weapon honed in darkness, trained to kill at the Empire's command. But the world beyond Vareth has not forgotten her. Elias Prian, the boy who once swore to protect her, has spent years searching for the girl who vanished. When he finds her, he does not recognize the hardened warrior standing in her place. The Empire has twisted her into something unbreakable, something lethal-but not invincible. Dante Varos, the Empire's most feared general, is a man whose name alone is enough to break spirits. Cold, calculating, and bound to duty, he sees Kaelis as nothing more than another blade in the Emperor's arsenal-a tool to be sharpened and wielded, not trusted. But when a mission turns into a death sentence, they find themselves hunted by the very Empire that created them.

Unknown to them many eyes are on them, watching their son, and soon he would be thrown in the chaos of the realm. ~~~~~~~~~ Born at an unknown date in time and placed in a magical stasis for experimentation, Nalitor awoke early from his imprisonment and has spent his whole life doing only one thing: training. Created with one purpose, to be a weapon powerful enough to bring the realms to their knees, he has gone through spell after spell, book after book, knowing nothing else but the art of magic. His only exposure to the outside world is his brief adventures his parents allow in the Border Forest. The only other person he truly interacts with: his sister, Kasi. As part of what was done to him, he's been left with the voice of an ancient and powerful magician in his mind, Retarion. Who helps guide him on his journey to power. His relationship with his parents is stretched at best, as they view him as nothing more than the weapon they seek to turn him into. Every mistake he makes is paid for in blood. He believes himself to be weak even though Retarion tells him otherwise, but even the old wizard underestimates exactly what Nalitor is capable of. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Artwork by: DayPaintStudio Warning: This book contains cussing, sexual scenes, excessive violence, and other dark topics.
