Five of Ash

Seven realms. Five branches of Magis. The Ash Lords are sworn to protect the realms-at the cost of their soul. After his powers erupted one night, leaving two dead, a mysterious force known as the Dark Wind tore Aros from his home realm of Arteyva. Ten years later, the Wind calls him back-to compete in the Ash Trials for a chance at becoming an Ash Lord. Kingdoms teeter on the edge of war. The realms are beginning to fracture. But no one sees it coming. Thrown into the center of it all, Aros must uncover what threatens the realms-and why the Dark Wind chose him.
