The Sons of the Empire

The mystic vaults of magisters. The clamor of churning gears. Trapped between clashing
armies, can one young man seize fate to save a nation?

Trastan Mage longs to follow in his father’s footsteps. But after forging friendships and devoting
himself to his magical studies, the eighteen-year-old is still all too aware of his shortcomings in
the art. And though being ordered to abandon the family trade and pursue a military career
stings, the dutiful son obediently sets off to train with a famous commander in the barren deserts.

Eyes opening to a vast new world, Trastan throws himself into learning the complex business of
war, leadership, and love. But once on the battlefield, he discovers there is much more to combat
than killing the enemy. An unwitting player in a twisted game, will death stop Trastan from fulfilling his destiny?

Sons of Empire is the suspenseful first book in the World of Arras military fantasy series. If you
like captivating characters, epic worldbuilding, and gritty steampunk elements, then you’ll adore
