A rich story of epic proportions. A massive school at the heart of the Light Realm with over 30,000 students, a world with its own lore that stretches back 1,500 years, and ten kingdoms caught in political strife as traitors arise inside of royal families. Erafeen is idea for lovers of magical fantasies entwined with dark political strife. His dead father: a legend. His father-figure: an icon. Sinister truths are buried within the powers that raised Bryson. And as these secrets begin to shake his faith in those great men, disaster shakes the world around him. Several of Kuki Sphaira's ten kingdoms are in shambles from mass bloodshed, royal assassinations, and rekindled ancient wars. And it will take more than political, military, or even magical power to solve such problems. The Jestivan--a band of ten elite students, including Bryson--become the unlikely heroes when one of their own goes missing. Now they must infiltrate foreign lands and track down kings, bringing them face-to-face with secrets better left unknown. Most drown in their demons. Some try to escape. The Jestivan are the rare few who will do anything just to find them ... And they are the ones who learn the highest rule of power: To build trust, one must lie.

The world was deceived, and now its power players must rebound. The war in the kingdoms has ended, but the Empires have entered the picture in a catastrophic way. Focus shifts from human threats to those of divinity, and a select handful of humans are recruited into the Empirical War to help even the scales.Bryson must adapt to a foreign land and new supporting cast around him, learning that not all of the Bozani are as pure as his culture had been made to believe. Lofty goals are laid out for him, such as replacing one of the most ancient entities in Kuki Sphaira.

An investigation into Lost Wisdom brings to light past treaties between Archain royalty and the Thousand-Layer Loess. Legendary families resurface. Rebellion surges in Dunami. A Jestivan enters the Dark Realm''s school to recruit two Diatia. Another will infiltrate the dangerous Linsaniun Mounds.Among the journeys is heartbreak.Death has claimed many already. It will not relent.

With one sacrifice remaining, the Rogue Demon is close to resurrecting history's most dangerous king. His sights are now set on the Intel Kingdom, a world power in the eyes of most.This makes Bryson-considered the most talented Intelian currently alive-a prime target. Alas, he's found himself absent of all weaving abilities following his lightning storm during the Blizzard of Blood. He must discover a way to retain his electrical abilities before the Rogue Demon finds him.As the world prepares for the eventual clash between titans, the rest of the Jestivan search for information about the Rogue Demon and those closest to him. They'll sail for whirlpools that connect realms, visit the holy city of trees where the very first sacrifice took place, and infiltrate the headquarters of the demon's operations.Meanwhile, one Jestivan begins his translations of an ancient text from a timeline before his, learning of two Originators who sparked the end of an era. And another woman, once a Jestivan but long removed from her peers, seeks vengeance on an entire kingdom in a catastrophic way.The empires have taken notice.

An epic fantasy series readers are comparing to Rick Riordan, Marie Lu, and J.K. Rowling. The world is crumbling, and it's up to ten elite students of magic to save it. Bryson only wants to surpass the legend of his dead father--a fairy tale hero whose name holds weight throughout the Light Realm. But after sixteen years of mediocrity, the world has given up on Mendac's son. Despite his failures, he is invited into a group of elite students known as the Jestivan and elected one of two captains with nothing to show for it but his last name. Requesting the respect of his peers is one thing; talk is cheap. As they are thrust into a millennium-long feud between two kingdoms, he must earn their respect by leading with composure. But pressure mounts as someone dear to him is taken and the real identity of his father-figure is exposed. He will infiltrate foreign kingdoms, hunt kings, and fight celestial beings to dispose of those who wrong not only him, but his friends.There is more to the world of Kuki Sphaira than what is seen on the surface, however. Secrets lie in every corner of the world, and each member of the Jestivan will play a part in discovering them. Erafeen is an epic fantasy on a massive scale. Two empires, ten kingdoms, dozens of perspectives, and over a hundred characters... and you get the first three books for a significantly discounted price in this bundled volume.It's time you realize why readers are making bold comparisons such as these ... For Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and The Young Elites fanatics. "The best book I've read in years."
