The Rifted, (Paperback)

**B&amp;W EDITION**<p><b>In a world where magic is built on lies, one boy holds the key to its salvation-or its ruin.</b></p><p>The Empire is fractured into seven Orders, each guarding its own power and perpetuating a sacred falsehood: that the Void beyond the Veil is only destruction. The truth is far worse. Once the Source of all magic, the Void was shattered by the Devoured-fallen Guardians whose hunger now seeps back into the world.</p><p>Ren, a nameless orphan, expects nothing more than a life of survival in a tavern's shadows. But when a knife freezes midair at his command-without incantation, without colour, without any magic the Orders can name-his life changes. Declared an anomaly by the Emperor, Ren is forced to train under all seven Orders, an honour reserved for none... until him.</p><p>In his search for belonging among the Orderless, Ren stumbles on truths too dangerous to ignore: flames that whisper in forgotten glyphs, groves that heal through listening, and a Gold Order mage scarred by the Void itself. The Veil is thinning, the lies of the Empire are fraying, and something ancient is stirring beyond the dark.</p><p>As visions of a white flame shattered into seven shards torment him, Ren faces a choice: survive quietly with those he loves-or step into the rift between worlds and risk everything to mend what was broken. But to restore the Source, he may have to unseal the wound that still bleeds darkness-and awaken what should never wake.</p><p><b>THE RIFTED delivers all the sweep of epic fantasy in a sharp, fast-moving tale. It's lean by design-propulsive, tightly woven, and impossible to put down. Perfect for readers who want the wonder of a saga without the weight of a tome-immersive, addictive, and certain to spark a lasting commitment to the series.</b></p>
