Blood of the Chosen
Reunited after twelve long years apart, Gyre and Maya will soon find themselves on opposite sides of a brewing civil war between those who wield magic and those who do not in the second instalment in Django Wexler's epic new fantasy series.
Long ago a great war wreaked devastation, destroying an empire and leaving a new republic in its wake. Now a new civil war has begun, pitting those with the power to wield magic against those without. Across that divide stand a brother and sister.
Twelve years after she was taken by the mysterious Twilight Order, Gyre has finally found his sister Maya, now a powerful magical warrior known as Burningblade. But given the chance to kill her and brandish a great blow against the oppressive Order, he instead let her free. The love for his sister was too strong, despite the terrible authority she represents.
All the while, trouble brews within their factions. A small but influential group of the Order conspire, intent to bring about the return of the Chosen; and the warriors of the resistance will need to learn to work as one if they are to stand any chance.

Django Wexler
Before Django Wexler ever conjured the rise and fall of empires on the page, he was building imaginary worlds from the ground up—first with tabletop games, then with code. Trained as a software engineer and once immersed in the analytical world of artificial intelligence, Wexler eventually found that the logic of machines couldn’t quite satisfy his appetite for storytelling. So he turned to fantasy—not as escape, but as architecture for human complexity. That shift sparked the beginning of a writing career that now spans multiple acclaimed series and a growing reputation for breathing new life into epic fantasy and military fiction alike.
