The Druids of Mawre Grove (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798279359363)

A secret mission. A forbidden jungle. A corruption that devours magic itself.
Royal Mage Manuel Finley has served the Kingdom of Veryandes with unwavering loyalty-until the day he's sent into the Thakkan Jungle on a mission no one will speak of. The jungle is forbidden territory, protected by law and legend, where civilization's rules dissolve beneath the canopy. But the Kingdom doesn't send its best mage into the unknown without reason.
What Manuel discovers in Mawre Grove will shatter everything he believes about magic, power, and the price of belonging.
Helix Frost never asked to be special. But when chaotic powers choose him-powers that twist and corrupt everything they touch-he becomes the epicenter of a spreading Blight that threatens to consume both the jungle and the kingdoms beyond. The druids of Mawre Grove have kept their secrets for generations, but some secrets were meant to stay buried.
As the Blight spreads and ancient artifacts awaken, Manuel must choose: loyalty to the kingdom that shaped him, or alliance with the very people who aid him on his mission.
Blightbound is a dark fantasy saga for readers who crave morally complex characters, magic systems with devastating consequences, and worlds where nature and civilization wage war in the shadows. Perfect for fans of The Poppy War, The Broken Earth trilogy, and Malazan Book of the Fallen.
Book 1 of the Blightbound saga. The corruption has only begun.
