Book One of the Lumen Chronicles Kye was never meant to matter. Born to legends, yet rejected by the council that once honored his bloodline, he is cast aside-powerless in a world that worships strength. But when the ancient power of Lumen stirs within him at the age of fourteen, everything begins to change. Haunted by the death of his parents and the weight of a legacy he doesn't understand, Kye finds himself drawn to a forgotten temple hidden in the mountains. There, under the watchful eye of Draven-an exiled Astrothane master with secrets of his own-Kye begins a new journey. A journey of discipline, pain, self-discovery... and light. But awakening Lumen is only the beginning. As the echoes of a long-forgotten prophecy rise and the shadow of a broken war looms once more, Kye must decide who he is-and who he's willing to become. A story of destiny, courage, and the fire that flickers in even the darkest souls.
