SoulFire

Riven never asked to become a Soulmancer. After tragedy destroys the life he once knew, Riven is thrust into a world of spirits, monsters, ancient powers, and secrets that should have remained buried. What begins as a desperate fight for survival soon becomes a journey across Velora as Riven discovers that the strange golden power within him may be connected to something far greater than he ever imagined. With unlikely companions at his side and a growing Vanguard of spirits behind him, Riven searches for answers about his abilities, his past, and the forgotten history of Soulmancers. But every answer seems to uncover another mystery—and every victory draws the attention of something stronger. Worse, Riven is beginning to realize that power always comes with a price. Something inside him is changing. Something is watching. And as Riven grows stronger, the line between the power he controls and the power controlling him begins to disappear. His journey will carry him beyond ruined villages and monster-infested wilderness into conflicts that stretch across nations, generations, and even the boundary between life and death. Friends will be tested. Enemies will rise. Spirits thought lost forever may find new purpose. And one day, the boy who struggled simply to survive may possess enough power to change Velora itself. The question is no longer whether Riven will become powerful. It’s what he will become to obtain that power—and whether the people standing beside him will still recognize him when he does. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: SoulFire — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
