Soulbinder

Surviving the first year was only the beginning. With a ruthless new headmaster determined to protect the academy at all costs, Kaleth is running out of time. No matter how hard he trains, he struggles to learn the power he's supposed to master, and each failure brings him closer to death. On the other side of the border, Felyra fares little better. While handling the expected skills, she struggles in other ways. Before long, rumors of a spy in their midst leave her scrambling for her life. When all options seem exhausted, a reunion with Felyra gives Kaleth new hope, but with it comes an impossible choice. Should he save the people he has been taught to hate or remain loyal to the kingdom that raised him? With every decision carrying a heavy cost, deciding who to save may mean sacrificing everything.
