In a world where magic is bound by colour, one boy awakens with none.
The Empire of Ithuriel stands divided among seven Orders of magic, each
jealously guarding its power and weaving a sacred lie: that the Void
beyond the Veil is only destruction. But the truth is far older and far
more dangerous. The Void was once the Source itself—radiant,
whole—until betrayal shattered it into hunger and silence.
Ren Cael, an orphan abandoned at a village inn, never expected more
than a quiet life of chores and lantern festivals. But when a knife
meant for his throat halts midair at his unspoken command—without
colour, without incantation—his life unravels. Declared an anomaly by
Archmagister Corvallis and dragged before the Academy, Ren discovers
that he is not fire, not shadow, not storm—he is something else.
Something feared. Something erased from the histories.
Placed among the Orderless—students cast out from every Colour—Ren
finds allies as strange as himself: Kael, a flame-born warrior with too
much defiance for Ignari discipline; Riven, a scion of nobility whose
poise hides a blade; Silas, an Umbrancy exile walking with shadows;
Tyven, an alchemical prodigy too reckless for Verdara; and Lira, a
silver-haired seer whose visions may already know his fate. Together,
they begin to uncover the Empire's deepest secret: the Rift did not
destroy magic—it only twisted it. And what sleeps beneath the Isle may
yet awaken.
Visions plague Ren—a white flame split into seven, the betrayal of the
Devoured, and a staff cradling a flame without colour. The Orders watch
him as a weapon, a heresy, or a last hope. And beyond the Veil,
something older stirs. It knows his name. It has been waiting.
To restore balance, Ren must decide: hide with the ones he has grown to
love, or step into the rift between worlds and risk everything to mend
what was broken. But to heal the Source, he may have to unseal the very
wound bleeding darkness—and summon what has slept for millennia.
The Rifted is the opening volume of The Riftborn Chronicles—an epic
fantasy of shattered truths and forbidden magic, perfect for readers of
The Wheel of Time, The Death Gate Cycle, and Daughter of the Empire.
Rich worldbuilding, a revolutionary magic system, and characters bound
by love, exile, and prophecy drive this tale of belonging, betrayal,
and the thin line between salvation and ruin.
