The Weight Of The World
In the magitech capital of Tan'thalon, strength is spectacle-and survival is never guaranteed. When young noble Talia Surifarah sneaks beyond the safety of her station, she witnesses a living legend: the Diviner, a blind arena champion whose mastery of earth and combat defies all reason.
But the city's wonders hide brutal truths. As deserts creep closer, swallowing towns without explanation, Talia learns that power alone cannot stop what is coming. Attacked in Tan'thalon's rain-soaked alleys and pushed to the brink, she is saved by the Diviner herself-an elementalist whose discipline and instinct eclipse everything Talia has been taught.
Bound by duty, shadowed by a controlling guardian, and driven by a world on the edge of ruin, Talia must choose who she will become. A sheltered paladin of noble blood... or something more.
The sands are moving. Legends walk unseen. And the first step toward destiny is learning how to stand.
