As a young woman struggles with finding her place among tradition, a wanderer from her past brings the baggage of their history with him upon his return.

Set in the world of Föld, Erik Tucsok's The Headmaster blends elements of high fantasy with profound character introspection, making it a compelling read for fans of the genre.

Vai'Lura, the new headmaster of the legendary combat academy of Faizti'Tan, searches for fresh minds to train. With no luck she considers calling upon old mentors, and ponders on how her father and brother led the fighters before her. When a waif from her past arrives she becomes torn between her responsibilities as headmaster and strives to avoid vulnerability.

As she navigates historical tension and evolving social dynamics, the future of Faizti'Tan rests on her shoulders.
