About The Exiled: A YA Epic Fantasy Novel (The Chronicles of Lethia Book 1):
The archmage of darkness has returned…
Beatrice
I never wanted to be special. Born to null parents, I wasn’t supposed to have magic, let alone the kind that could get me into the Academy. My family’s rejection still stings, but I can’t turn back. I have power coursing through me—enough to make even the strongest mages wary. But with this power comes danger, and as much as I try to stay focused on my training, there are whispers in the shadows. Whispers of betrayal, and of enemies waiting for me to fall. I need to prove I belong here, even if it means fighting everything I’ve been taught to fear.
Sab
I’ve lived this life too many times before. The faces may change, but the battles remain the same. I know what’s coming, and I know who we must fight: Zero, my cousin, the most dangerous sorcerer Lethia has ever known. Beatrice might be the only one strong enough to stop him, but I’m the one who must protect her. I’ve failed in past lives, and I can’t afford to fail again. The weight of centuries of mistakes presses down on me, but I’m running out of time. This is my last chance to make things right.
Nate
I wasn’t supposed to be here. My older brother was always the golden one, the perfect one, but now he’s gone, and I’m all that’s left. There’s a darkness inside me, something that even I don’t fully understand. The Academy thinks it can make me into something better, but I know the truth. I’ve already made my choice, and no amount of magic or training can change that. Still, I’m drawn to Beatrice and Sab, two mages more powerful than anyone I’ve ever known. They think they can trust me—but they don’t know the secret I’m hiding. And if they ever find out, it might destroy us all.
