The glorious Crown Tournament draws hundreds of arcanists from around the world to battle in magical martial arts competitions…. The prize? More riches than anyone can spend in a lifetime—and a ceremonial crown to mark the winner for an entire decade until the next tournament begins.
And while most obviously want the wealth, a certain pair of arcanists want the crown instead.. Master Elias is bonded to a syrocko drake, a deadly creature capable of controlling the desert winds. He recruits young Amir Rosewood, a kirin arcanist capable of powerful magic, to help him win the tournament—and the prize crown..
Why seek out the crown? It holds a secret, one that can turn whoever holds it into a powerful god-like arcanist. Unfortunately, Elias and Amir aren't the only ones who know, and their underhanded opponents will stop at nothing to acquire the crown for themselves.
with Shami Stovall “ I grew up in notable poverty. Without much money (and sometimes living in a car) it has given me a distinct perspective on what it means to struggle. ”
