Cam Folde’s tribulations in the Realm of Hearth are not the end of his struggles. They are only the beginning.

Cam and Light Squad have returned to Salvation, but important questions linger. How many of the great Sages have turned traitor? Who can Light Squad trust? And is the Ephemeral Academy itself compromised? Strangely pertinent as well is the nature of Cam’s relationship with Charity Kazar. Who are they to one another?

Dangers abound, and while none of the questions have easy answers, what becomes clear is that Cam has to forge his own path. The rest of Light Squad shares his antipathy toward those in authority, and together, they conceive a plan to make their own destiny.

Another, however, has his own schemes, and he is far beyond a mere Sage. He is Coruscant, a Great Rakshasa, and his deadly challenge will be the greatest that Cam has yet to face.

Also known as Blood of a Novice Book 3.

The Eternal Ephemera

In The Eternal Ephemera, the line between destiny and choice is drawn in the sand, only to be swept away by the tides of magic. This progressive fantasy series immerses readers in a world where the pursuit of power is as much about the internal journey as the external one. At its heart is Cam Folde, a young man haunted by his family's troubled legacy, who finds a chance to reshape his future at the Ephemeral Academy—a prestigious school where magic is not merely learned but earned through trials that push students to their limits.

What sets this series apart is the intricate blend of deep world-building and character-driven storytelling. Magic in The Eternal Ephemera isn’t an easy or comforting power—it’s a grueling path, one that demands sacrifices, and tests both physical strength and moral resolve. Cam’s evolution is far from linear. His growth unfolds in unexpected ways, as the academy’s trials force him to confront his own weaknesses, grapple with complex relationships, and discover his true potential, all while navigating the political intricacies of a society where power is both a blessing and a curse.

But it’s not just Cam’s internal conflict that keeps readers turning pages. The series is filled with fascinating characters, each with their own unique stories and motives. One standout is an Awakened panda, whose presence brings an unexpected touch of levity and mystery to the otherwise intense narrative. These characters, along with the world they inhabit, form a tapestry that is rich, diverse, and refreshingly unpredictable.

As The Eternal Ephemera progresses, its themes of redemption, loyalty, and the eternal search for self-actualization continue to resonate. Each book deepens our connection with Cam’s journey, unveiling more of the complex magic system and the vast, often perilous world that exists beyond the academy walls. Whether it’s a clash of wills in the classroom or a confrontation with forces beyond comprehension, The Eternal Ephemera never lets its readers grow complacent.

If you’re looking for a fantasy series that doesn’t shy away from the messy and often painful process of growth, one that blends breathtaking magic with heartfelt character arcs, The Eternal Ephemera promises to be an unforgettable adventure. With every new installment, Davis Ashura pulls readers further into a world where power, ambition, and morality collide in ways that will keep you questioning what comes next.
