The Thirteen: Book One of the Andrift Chronicles

"A wildly entertaining epic fantasy full of dark magic, sharp humor, and a crew you'll want to follow anywhere." Stron "Bladeless" Broxton used to be a knight. Desmrick used to rule the world. Now they are both hunting the same prize. A missing prince... ...and the dangerous magic inside him that humanity was never meant to have. To save the prince, Stron must return to the kingdom that cast him out. To stop Desmrick, he must face a power that once shattered the world. And even with his infamous Thirteen at his side, Stron must survive bitter kings, treacherous allies, and his own judgment if he is going to bring everyone back alive. Because if Desmrick wins... Humanity will not survive the reckoning.
