Forced to rely on a mentor, Dirva, who is not who he claims to be, and a teacher who is foreign and powerful, Ariah is drawn into a culture wholly different from the elven one that raised him.<\/p>\n<p>As his friendship with Dirva&#8217;s brother blossoms into a surprising romance, and he slowly learns how to control the dangerous magic in his blood, life finally appears to be coming together for Ariah\u2014but love and security are cut short by a tyrannical military empire bent on expanding its borders.<\/p>\n<p>War, betrayal, passion, and confusion follow Ariah as his perilous journey leads him beyond the walls of the Empire, and into unfamiliar territory within himself. Along the way, he\u2019ll discover just how much he\u2019s willing to give up to find his place in the world, and he\u2019ll learn what it means to sacrifice himself for freedom\u2014and for love.<\/p>\n<h2>Book excerpt<\/h2>\n<p>Sorcha noticed me for the first time then. He looked me over, up and down, measuring and final like Abira when I first met her. He has an extraordinarily expressive face, and I could read his mind without help from any gift; anyone could have. He looked me over, he smirked at my Semadran clothes, the stiffness of my posture, and then he grinned a silent proposition. I burst into nervous laughter. His eyebrows flicked up, and his grin grew that much more canny. Abira shoved me towards him. I landed about two inches away from him. We saw exactly eye to eye; Sorcha and I are exactly the same height. \u201cYou get him settled in, would you?\u201d she said. \u201cI just want to get back to the Refuge and crash already.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Author Website<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/brsanderswrites.com\/\">http:\/\/brsanderswrites.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Best place to buy your book<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ariah Author B R Sanders Author Bio Pronouns: they\/them\/their.
