Spellbound Trials
(2026)(The third book in the Arcane Integration Program series)
A novel by Jaxon Starforge
The Academy has fallen, the Council has surrendered, and Eryndor Vale is no longer just a student—he is a ticking time bomb holding the end of the world in his chest.
Prepare to walk the razor's edge between salvation and damnation, where every spell cast costs a piece of the soul and love is the only shield against a hunger that threatens to swallow the stars. This isn't just a journey across a broken wasteland; it is a visceral dive into a brotherhood and sisterhood forged in the fires of betrayal, where the hero must become the very monster he fights to save the women who are keeping him alive.
Cast out from the only home they’ve ever known, Eryndor and his unit are fugitives in a reality that is actively trying to unmake them. The luxury of the classroom is gone, replaced by the suffocating gravity of the Dead Lands and the glass forests of the Shattered Steppe. Hunted by the ruthless Ebonreach fleet and stalked by shadows that wear human faces, the team must navigate a landscape of nightmares where physics is a suggestion and time is a weapon. But the external threats pale in comparison to the war raging inside Eryndor’s own body.
The Core-Brand is awake, and it is starving. To keep the calamitous Origin Host sealed away, Eryndor is forced to siphon the life force of the very people he swore to protect. Every step toward the looming Origin Spire tightens the noose, forcing him to choose between his humanity and the terrifying power needed to break the siege. With a rival disciple waiting at the peak to steal the throne of godhood, Eryndor must master the hunger of the Void before it hollows him out completely. The curriculum is over; the final test is survival.
