Publisher's Synopsis
Eric Thornfield thought he was finally settling into life at the Academy-training, surviving rivalries, and growing stronger. But when his mentor, Iliom, whisks him away without warning, Eric is thrown into a two-week trial of survival in the wild. No guidance. No explanation. Just him, Nimbus, and the untamed world of Omono.
But this isn't just another lesson. It's preparation.
When the trial ends, Eric learns the truth-Iliom is preparing him for something big. Something no one else knows is coming. He won't say what, only that a storm is on the horizon, one that could change the fate of Omono itself.
Power alone won't be enough. If Eric wants to survive what's coming, he'll need more than just cultivation-he'll need to decide who he truly wants to be.
Because when the world starts to shift, those without a place in it?
They're the first to fall.
