The Scintillate
Vand can harness the power of the sun...
And he's honed it for twelve years to rescue his sister from the Great Empyrean.
Meanwhile, the Great Empyrean seeks absolute control over all life, including the monster-ridden Ancient Lands below their floating archipelago. Using secret operatives and extreme measures, they scour the land for adept magic users and babies born with eyes like diamonds.
Vand reconnects with a childhood friend named Aurelia, who recruits him into her neophytes to secure him passage across the world and a gateway to the islands above.
They meet Myrick, a world-and-monster expert and prism mage, the ex-convict Leviathan, and a conflicted Sidivian soldier. All offer their skills to the cause among their own deep wounds wrought by the Empyre.
But things aren't what they seem, and the buried truth about those mercilessly hunted, the rise of the world's wretched state, and Vand's unusual powers soon brings the return of two powerful, warring deities long thought deceased.
