Description

Freysdal is a peculiar place for more reasons than one. Besides manufacturing radiant items for non-Light-Twisters, it’s also the only place in Thadren where thralls and freemen work side by side. Jaren knows that he’s no more than a small piece in the effort to overthrow Thralldom, but he’s comfortable with that role. That comfort is shattered, though, when he learns that he can control radiant energy. Now, instead of working to be reunited with his sisters, Jaren must resist the burden that drives Light-Twisters to cruelty and survive an abusive radiance instructor long enough to figure out who’s trying to kill Freysdal’s founder. The stress ramps up with growing rumors of an impending attack on Freysdal, and Jaren must decide whether he’s willing to give up the Peace of Freysdal and become the Sword that defends it.

A Note From the Publisher

Michael Richards is an engineer in the United States Air Force with a Ph.D. in Energy Science. He was born in Texas but has lived in 10 states, 6 countries, 3 continents, 4 planets, and 2 galaxies. While there's no place like home--because no place is home--he's always happiest around his magical wife and five mischievous children. He's currently stationed in downtown Tokyo, Japan, where his assignment is to find and fund top quantum science researchers in Asia. He likes growing beards (when on leave...), smashing atoms, and making cheese; but not at the same time. He loves squeezing stories out of the diverse experiences he's had.
