Liam awakens aboard a prison ship with no memory of how he got there?or who he is. When he's brought to D'wan Ma'hal, a city where magic and politics collide, he discovers he possesses power he can't control and knowledge he can't access.

Now he faces the Academy's entrance examinations, magical trials that will determine not only his fate, but possibly that of the realm itself. The problem? Every spell he attempts, every answer he gives, might unlock fragments of a past someone desperately wanted him to forget.

As Liam navigates the trials, he begins to suspect his missing memories weren't lost?they were stolen. And whoever took them may have had good reason to fear what he might remember.

The Crestborn Chronicles is a tale of magic, mystery, and the dangerous price of forgotten truths. Sometimes the most perilous exam isn't testing what you know?it's revealing what you've been made to forget.
