Alexander Kai and his close-knit group of friends begin their Eltheneaen apprenticeships with a thirst to learn the skills needed for the life of a soldier, such as wielding magic, Essence, and their weapons of choice.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, a surprise attack from the neighboring Kingdom of Xythuu steals the futures they had hoped for\u2014as well as the hometown and family they all hold dear. This group of inexperienced apprentices must trek across their country to seek aid, learning to rely on each other\u2019s skills and companionship as tragedy after tragedy befalls them.<\/em><\/p>\n

As the perilous journey unfolds along with the horrors of war, Alexander begins to wonder if he will ever see his home of Jylinae again. Is there any hope left of resisting Xythuu?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Praise given where it is due, Yardley’s story is a strong one on its own merits.\u00a0 Even if it didn’t have the backing of a new world realized by an expert craftsman, if you had dropped Alexander and his companions into another universe, it still would have been enjoyable to follow him and learn the sort of things that were integral to his character growth.\u00a0 This is thanks to Yardley’s devotion to his writing, and all that grows out of it.\u00a0 If you’re looking for a great coming-of-age fantasy set in a lively world, this should be on your radar.\u00a0 Check out Empire of Blood and Darkness<\/em> on Amazon<\/a> today!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
