The Essence Crystal
A Fantasy Novel by Dan Michaelson & D.K. Holmberg
Book 2 of the Essence Wielder Series
The Great Serpent has given a great gift—if only Dax can understand it in time.
With the attack on the Great Serpent stopped, Dax and his friends return to the Academy having changed. They no longer fear the Cult of the Dragon, but the Order now knows of their involvement. The Academy can only protect them so much.
When Dax discovers strange sentient creatures in the forest near the Academy, he fears the Order has a new plan to attack the empire. He'll need to master his essence if he wants to have any chance to understand it. Even that might not be enough to stop the danger that's coming.
