ARCANE RISING

Arcane Rising: The Sacerdos Mysteries II

‘A boy who can tame lightning, a man whose blood can raise the dead. All these things are impossible… but we have seen them happen.’

Three years after the events of ‘Sacerdos’, Caelara Teneo has settled back into academic life. Since Nathan’s fateful letter, she has not heard a single thing from him. Over time her heart heals and she forms a new romantic relationship with the debonair Mardan noble, Xaviour Leston. The scar tissue of their histories binds them together. Yet, the very fabric of Caelara’s world is about to unravel. The Advorsa have not been sleeping and this is a calm before their great storm. No matter how peaceful things seem, Sacerdos is threatened by dark forces. The war is coming.

Once there, Caelara discovers she is a giftblood, one of a select minority who have ruled the Universe from Sacerdos for thousands of years. Yet, as Caelara struggles to deal with the upheaval of growing up, factions within giftblood society break down. Beyond the walls of her educator, a war is brewing and Caelara’s place in it has been millennia in the making.
