"Someday they will call you king."

Kier has lived all his life like a ghost, hidden away and unacknowledged by his only family, even as his sinister power is being sharpened as a weapon to wield in the king's new Special Army.

When Kier learns secrets about his ancestry he was never meant to unbury, he realizes just how treacherous the kingdom is growing for magic-born like him...and what he may have to sacrifice to claim his destiny and chart a better course.

But the darkness that lies within may be the most difficult beast to slay.

Darkwielder is a mid-series prequel novella that must be read after Every Dark Shadow, book 1 in the Whispers of Dust & Darkness series.
