In a kingdom where armies are watched and secrets are weapons, the greatest threats are met not by knights in shining armor, but by five young apprentices chosen to move in the shadows.They are Highwind's last, best hope:
Rowan, the peerless scout with her falcon, Ashwing, seeing what others miss.
Lyra, the gifted mage, whose connection to the world's magic is both her greatest strength and her deepest fear.
Brinna, the stoic blacksmith, whose resilience is as true as the steel she forges.
Corwin, the knight-in-training, whose heart is braver than his sword arm.Tobin, the clever cook, who understands that the sharpest weapon can be a keen observation or a well-timed pastry. This single volume contains the first three trials of their apprenticeship: Their journey begins with a desperate race against time, carrying a secret message from their Queen to the reclusive Elven Court through a forest that listens and remembers . Next, they must venture into the blighted southern territories to investigate a creeping sickness that corrupts the very land and magic itself, only to discover they are being stalked by a dark reflection of their own group-ruthless, skilled, and with twisted powers of their own . Finally, the threat comes home. A grand banquet is not a celebration, but a trap set by the Queen to expose a conspiracy festering within Highwind's own walls. The apprentices are plunged into a game of espionage and hidden passages, where the most dangerous enemies may be the ones smiling from across the hall . As they face down corrupted magic, shadowy counterparts, and traitors in their midst, the five friends must learn that the Queen's plan is a dangerous gambit, and they are the key players. To survive, they must forge their individual talents into an unbreakable bond, because the shadows are gathering, and they are the only light standing against them.
Dive into a new epic fantasy saga perfect for fans of found family, intricate magic systems, and slow-burn mystery. Your apprenticeship begins now.
