The Eastern Empire

The Eastern Empire is on the brink of collapse. For five thousand years, an uneasy peace has held between the seven kingdoms, but now, the ambitious armies of Lyria are marching to conquer.
Standing against them is Valder de Alderienne, the reluctant heir to Ardenia's most feared swordmen. Valder's legendary skill is augmented by a crippling family gift: precognition. He doesn't just anticipate a single enemy blow: he is tormented by a thousand visions of defeat, blurring the line between fate and failure.
Dismissed from the front lines and sent to train in the Royal Academy, Valder abandons duty for a desperate journey across the continent. He uncovers a terrifying truth: the war with Lyria is a mere distraction, making an ancient, magical threat that could shatter the world.
His search for allies leads to betrayal by a lover and an unlikely, vital partnership with Tera Stormcrest, the disciplined daughter of the Master of Elements. Bound by a shared destiny and a growing, dangerous affection, Valder and Tera must combine his chaotic visions and her focused magic to uncover the secrets of the Eastern Continent and fight a hidden enemy more powerful than any empire.
