Aspirant, Coming of Age - Elle Wilson - Bog

Legacy and duty, or the freedom to carve your own path? It's a difficult choice that Charles "Chance" Jameson must reckon with. He has reached eighteen Summers, the age of majority for humans who call the Wassirian Republic home. Like all the other newly minted adults, he faces a once in a lifetime choice. Service in the legions for five years, which brings both hardship and duty. Or the path of a commoner, living on the outskirts of accepted society. One that comes with no responsibilities to the state, and none of its benefits either. A terrible decision after losing your father to a brutal war ten years before. The father whose heroic legacy in the Legion he must now live up to. Unfortunately, as Chance finds out the hard way, the choice is more complex than it seems. Unsuspecting of the world at large, Chance is forced to prove himself the soldier worthy of filling his father's shoes and, possibly, saving his Republic. For in the shadows, an enemy lurks. Using vile magics to hatch plots and scheme for a weakness in the country he must now serve. When destiny calls, will he answer?
