Abandoned at birth, Jenna Bandelow was told that the magemark on the back of her neck would make her a target.

Book Description
The full series bundle of The Shattered Realm is finally here! One purchase for Oskar Soderberg's full debut series. Dangerous things are stirring in dark corners and caravans are found attacked by strangers not quite human. Will the realm withstand the attention of forces beyond their understanding? Will the world that once slayed their own gods be ready for what comes next? A young man defies all known logic of the world’s system of magic. Is Sarien really broken, or is he the burning ember that is about to set the kingdom ablaze? The Broken Pyromancer Sarien yearns for a life of adventure, like his father’s. Instead, he’s stuck mucking out stables so the nobles don’t accidentally get dirt on their polished boots. His chance finally presents itself when a whole village’s worth of people suddenly disappears. The noble house’s oldest son needs extra men to hunt for whoever, or whatever, is responsible. Under cover of darkness, a ferocious beast attacks the group. In moments, they’re all on the ground, wounded and helpless. In a moment of desperation, Sarien discovers a swelling spark inside him. A flame dances in the palm of his hand, the flame of a pyromancer! Only, this one is stark white and cold, rather than burning hot. That’s wrong, all wrong. All pyromancers in Eldsprak are under the authority of The Burning Tower of Firemagi, even the broken ones. Sarien is finally getting the adventure he’s craved for so long, but will he burn strong, or smolder away? With otherworldly threats spilling into their world from somewhere beyond, Sarien and his newfound friends could be all that stands between this new threat and complete annihilation. If he doesn’t come into his strange and broken powers, everything might be lost. For fans of fantasy adventures, this book is a must-read! Join Sarien and his friends as they embark on a journey that will test their courage, strength, and loyalty. With high stakes, epic battles, and a dash of magic, this is a story you won't want to miss. Gathering Darkness Sarien and his friends pushed back against the Rhinn invaders in Tyralien, but that was just the first step. When Sarien finds himself stranded in a world without magic, he knows he must find a way back to his own world before it's too late. Maydian is under attack by invaders and horrific monsters both, and its fate might rest on Sarien's ability to return and stop them. Meanwhile, Goslin returns to his kingdom, Eldsprak, to find it under siege, teetering on the brink of destruction. Emeryn must navigate the deserted Kinship of Jordfaste and uncover the truth about her god's survival and the Kin's plans. Lana, a reluctant leader, returns home to rally the Loftians and discover her own strength. And Kax, afflicted by the dark void spreading across his body, is still Kax. Gatekeeper As the god Wyndemir's assault grinds to a temporary halt, Sarien must embark on a quest to find his enigmatic, long-lost mother—Anja, one of the legendary heroes and a formidable Gatekeeper. Can she unlock the secrets of Sarien's burgeoning gray flame, and pave the way to vanquishing the monstrous invaders plaguing Maydian? Meanwhile, the fallen and imprisoned deities of Maydian might be the key in this worlds-spanning web of intrigue, but their roles are shrouded in mystery. It falls upon Tomford, aided by Emeryn, to seek out the one god who still stands—Taera, the goddess of earth—and bring an end to her ominous reign. In the impending battle, they'll require every ounce of assistance they can muster. Yet, as the wayfaring paths between worlds spiral into chaos, these new heroes remain oblivious to the dire situation beyond their realm's borders. The very fabric of existence teeters on the brink of collapse, worlds rending themselves asunder. Unless someone intervenes, all could be lost. Is our broken pyromancer equal to the daunting task that lies ahead?

Book Description
Family secrets combine with fantasy in this epic tale of battle, magic, strange creatures, power, and fate, in the second novel in a sweeping middle grade series that Publishers Weekly called “Game of Thrones on a mellow day.” The kingdom of Toronia is being torn apart by civil war. The kingdom’s only hope comes in the form of illegitimate triplets, who are prophesied to kill the king and rule together in peace. Separated at birth and scattered throughout the realms, the triplets face a desperate fight to secure their destiny. Will they survive long enough to rule? The resurrected King Brutan and his army of the dead control the city of Idilliam. Outside, Eloide and Tarlan are trying to hold their own army together and find a way to rescue their brother Gulph who is trapped inside the city. Or is he? Gulph has found a passageway to the lost realm of Celestis, which lies beneath Idilliam. There he is reunited with the mother he has never known—but she can’t remember him. If Gulph stays in Celestis, will he also forget those above ground whom he loves? Meanwhile, Tarlan and the wizard Melchior set out on a quest to restore the wizard’s powers, leaving Eloide and her army to keep watch. But Eloide is betrayed, her troops are slaughtered, and she is taken captive by Lord Vicerin, her former guardian, who is determined to use her to take the throne. Seemingly further from the throne than ever, the triplets will need to use all of their strength and abilities if they are to survive—let alone rule.
