<p>[Winner of the Royal Road Writathon challenge, April 2024]</p> <p>The Soul. Our beautiful gift from the Void, our great light to hold back the darkness... until your kind, you Sorcerer scum tainted it."</p> <p>Guilty of being born a Sorcerer, Alder Crain has been Branded, cut off from his strange magic, and left a husk of his former self. Spared from execution as a child, he was instead forcibly enrolled into The Iris Tower. In exchange for his life, he's been expected to keep quiet, keep his head down, and forge his Soul into a weapon. He has finally become that weapon, but one that refuses to be wielded by its captors.</p> <p>Thale Vesper, a rising star among Mages, has earned a promotion, just not the one he wanted. Instead of being given a larger command for his heroism, he's being pulled from the frontlines entirely and sent back to school to play babysitter. Sclera's secret weapon, a young sorcerer who survived a Brand needs to be brought to heel.</p> <p>Lyra Mornstag has finally passed the Wizard's entrance exam. She's given the gift of magic and an escape from her family's shadow. The Iris Tower is happy to shelter and train her, however that shelter comes at a cost. Desperate to regain control of her destiny, she puts her faith in a dangerous ally.</p> <p>With the city under constant siege, from within and without, the trio must overcome their differences to master their Souls... or see them Burned away entirely.</p> <p>Next Chapter will be up on May 15th, and then we'll be going to every Tuesday and Fridays. I'm spending this short break doing edits, building a backlog, and setting up shout-out swaps.</p> <p>Early Access Chapters will be available on my Patreon in the very near future.</p> <p>**If this story hit's the main Rising Stars list, I'll be posting an Audio Recording (performed by me), of the first chapter for free on my Patreon.</p> <p>Don't forget to rate/follow.</p>
