The magic of Mt. Aernot has come to the Kingdom—and the old order is crumbling.
What began as an isolated spark atop frozen peaks has ignited a revolution across the land. Commoners and nobles alike are flocking to hear the Word of Aernus, receiving divine blessings, air magic, and the chance to soar on the backs of giant Aeagles. But the rapid spread of the Chosen threatens everything the Kingdom’s elite have built.
Now thrust into the spotlight as High Priest of Aernus at the Grand Temple, Aiden must navigate a treacherous web of royal politics, hostile mages, and desperate clergy. Beside the ambitious Prince Devin, Aiden works tirelessly to forge a future for the new converts. Yet powerful forces are conspiring in the shadows: the Royal Priest and Royal Mage view the democratized magic as dangerous heresy, while the vengeful Duke Winthrop prepares an all-out crusade to march up Mt. Aernot and claim the Aeagles by force.
Meanwhile, atop the mountain, ancient prejudices run deep. As the stubborn Light of Aernus refuses to acknowledge the world below, visionary councilors and legendary warriors realize a bitter truth—the future of the Chosen no longer lies on the isolated peak, but in the realm below.
With war looming on the mountain slopes and political execution awaiting at court, Aiden must bridge the divide between two worlds. Can he unite the old blood of Aerlin with the new converts of the Kingdom, or will the clash of gods, mages, and noble greed destroy them all?
