The Unmarked Path: The Veil of Kings and Gods, Book 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798198366497)

Ancient magic is waking. Kingdoms are moving towards war. A forgotten god's prison is beginning to fail.

Simion is a magician of the Order, sent to the kingdom of Bremyra under the cover of royal service and charged with discovering why three powerful magicians vanished in the company of a missing king. He expects suspicion, politics, and the quiet fear reserved for those who carry arcane power. He does not expect the castle itself to answer him.

Beneath Bremyra's stone, Simion discovers a sealed book hidden by magic older than the Order. Its whispers speak of a burden, a weakening Seal, and a darkness imprisoned since the fall of the Imperium Arcana. What begins as a secret investigation soon draws him into a current of divine memory, forgotten history, and power he does not understand.

While Simion searches for answers, Prince Patrick struggles to hold Bremyra together in his father's absence. Alliances strain. The Church watches. Royal bloodlines are bound by marriage and duty. When Princess Elana's journey is shattered by a poisoned ambush, the dangers facing the kingdom reveal themselves as far greater than court rivalry or border unrest.

Across the sea, Týrnan Valgrim leads the Frostbane south as the Njorvik begin their advance. What appears to be conquest soon carries the first signs of a wider fracture, one that reaches from the northern tribes to the forgotten ruins beneath the kingdoms of ldorra.

The Unmarked Path is Book 1 of The Veil of Kings and Gods, set within The Chronicles of the Spiral Realms, an adult epic fantasy saga of ancient magic, political fracture, fallen gods, divine silence, kingdom war, and mortals caught at the first turn of a conflict they barely understand.

Before crowns fall and gods return, one magician must take the first step along a path no map has marked.
