The Light Well
2 primary works
Book 1
Jorian Tal has lived through every age of man, training great heroes and watching those he loved age and die, or worse, fall to darkness in countless wars. Disillusioned and out of faith in humanity, the last thing he needs is another student to train.
Daughter of an ancient noble house, Sarannya Tatara’s path is already decided, and yet she dreams of forbidden things: swords, dragons, and a life she can never have—until the day she holds one of the General’s blades in her hand.
As demons sweep over the land in a wave of darkness and corruption, Jorian has one last chance to right the wrongs of the past, and resurrect the ancient order of knights who once kept the world safe. If he fails, all of humanity will be lost. If he succeeds, his long life can finally end. The empire he helped build centuries ago is on the brink of collapse, and everything rests on the shoulders of a girl who embodies the spirit of his greatest failure, a wound he still carries in his heart.
For Jorian and Sarannya, history is repeating itself—and he has already failed her once before.
Get ready to embark on a thrilling journey with Star's Light, the electrifying first book in a new epic fantasy series where complex heroes and cunning villains collide in a vast and magnificent world filled with pulse-pounding action!
Book 2
After her success at Bosc City, Sarannya Tatara is eager to begin her formal training with Jorian as a Tracian Knight. However, new responsibilities keep complicating her life. When she isn’t learning politics, she’s planning strategies to defeat Aviel and his army of Fallen as they march on two strategic points crucial to the Empire’s future.
Jorian knows that the success of both the Knighthood and the Empire hinges on Sarannya's ability to lead, and his ability to train her. But as strong as their relationship has become, the mistakes he made with Ilenka still linger between them. As Aviel's armies gain ground, Sarannya must take command of a large offensive, and Jorian is forced to train her quickly. But Aviel has time on his side, and he means to either convert Sarannya, or destroy her.
To help Sarannya reach her full potential, Jorian takes her to the fabled island of Tracia, where she must undergo a series of tests, master her abilities, and learn the true relationship between the dragons and the Knighthood.
Can Sarannya correct the mistakes of the past, or will they lead to her downfall? As the Darkening unfolds, the fate of the Ten-Thousand Nations hangs in the balance.
