Fourteen-year-old Jaime Pappas expects to live the remainder of his life on the chilly alps of the Air Kingdom. But he doesn’t expect the king’s men to arrive to his farmstead—or burn his brother for treason.
Forced to run, Jaime’s world upends when he discovers a chilling prophecy that will call him to exchange his farmer’s cowl for a crown. Meanwhile, ancient nightmares are returning to the mortal world. Signs abound that the end of times is near. His true enemies might not be who they seem.
Torn between duty and his heart, he will have to decide whether he will learn to raise storms to stop the king…who also happens to be his long-lost father.
Can the young mage rise to liberate his kingdom—even if he must burn with the rest of his family?
