the Way of Cast: Book One Stone World Chronicles

What if the only man who can save the world is the one made to destroy it? Alexander "Xander" Crowe wakes up with a fractured memory, an unpredictable magic he can barely control, and the troubling recall of a murdered king. In a realm where true magic vanished a thousand years ago, Xander is hunted by enemies who seem to know far more about his past than he does. Hoping for answers, he breaks into the royal dungeons to reach a captive double said to hold his missing memories. But the break-in goes sideways, uncovering a far deeper betrayal. Forced to flee with a small group of allies, Xander races across a kingdom falling into civil war. When a long-lost prophecy comes to light, Xander learns that his magic ties him directly to an unnamed saviour whose survival determines what comes next. To stay alive, he must outrun the forces tracking him, master his power, and face the fact that destiny controls his life. Spanning a thousand years, from ancient Eth'Valar to a modern city on the verge of collapse, >An explosive epic fantasy featuring hard magic, non-linear timeline mysteries, and morally complex heroes - perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, James Islington, and Steven Erikson.
