The start of a new fantasy series in the tradition of Shannara and Assassin's Apprentice with touches of The Riftwar Saga and Mistborn.
The deadliest blades are not of steel . . . When Jaks almost kills another soldier with his volatile magic, he is forced to tread the fearful path of the electromancer. Succeed, and he will be the first in a generation. Fail, he will lose everything.
As the brutal king of Voros invades the land with axe warriors, skyships and dragons, Jaks and his battlemage master begin a quest to train his powers and uncover a potent artifact that could halt the rampaging enemy.
On their journey through dangerous lands, they are accompanied by a sharp-eyed ranger, a lethal assassin, and a mysterious foreigner with unworldly weapons.
However, nothing is simple when Jaks' greatest adversary is much nearer than he knows.
