The Second Stranger
Erik thought his life couldn't get more complicated—working dead-end jobs, sacrificing sleep, and putting his dreams on hold to support his younger brother, Noah. But, when a mysterious portal tears open their living room and Noah steps through, Erik follows without hesitation.
Awakening in the body of Fern, a magicless youth in a land where magic is everything, Erik is thrust into the brutal reality of this new world. He is enrolled in the Academy of Ash, a military school that offers the magicless a shot at freedom. But, only if they can survive its ruthless trials.
Determined to find Noah and reclaim his body, Erik must navigate a treacherous new world filled with deadly creatures, political intrigue, and ancient secrets. Along the way, he'll forge alliances, challenge the corrupt hierarchy, and tap into forbidden powers that could alter the fate of this world.
Will Erik rise above his limitations to become a force that can shatter destinies, or will he be consumed by the darkness he seeks to overcome?
