A summons by the king turns Ayrion’s life upside down.
He’s being conscripted into the Lancer Corps.
. . . and it couldn’t have come at a worse time.
Just as Ayrion’s priorities are involuntarily split between the Elondrian Lancers and his tribe, Noph—the notably cunning chief of Sandstorm—calls for a secret meeting between himself and Hurricane. The outcome of that meeting forces Ayrion, Reevie, and Sapphire to make a decision that will not only affect their role within the tribes but will test the true strength of their friendship.
Whether they can survive the transition will hinge on which choice they make.

He currently lives and writes in South Georgia.
