Aldera

Ethan Vale was born to be a farmer. His parents work the land outside Lowstone, a grey-stone village on the quiet edge of the Lesser Continent, and nobody there expects much more of a farmer’s son.

But the Mana Core inside Ethan is not a farmer’s son’s core, and it does not sit easily with the rest of him. So with his best friend Sam, the blacksmith’s boy, he takes the long road to the Royal Academy in the capital to find out what he is: into a world of old noble houses, magic academies and knight schools, where power decides almost everything, and a talent like his does not go unnoticed for long.
