It all begins with the wizardry contest.
Fifteen-year-old Kiano, a sorcerer who feels out of place among both humans and his own kind, is drawn to the fierce competition where commoners will face off against the aristocracy of Gart├вr. Despite his guardianтАЩs warnings about the dangers of the Order of Mages, Kiano canтАЩt resist the pull of the mysterious glade where the contest is held.
But when a magical treeтАФsupposed to be a portal to the contestтАФtransports him and several aspiring wizards to the dangerous land of beasts, his life takes a drastic turn. There, he meets Derrick, a human boy driven to become the most powerful wizard and save his family from poverty, and Arlena, a sorceress fuelled by vengeance for her persecuted kin. Together, the three must navigate treacherous lands and evade the dark forces that conspire against them, led by the powerful Queen of Hezakhal.
As they face unimaginable dangers, Kiano, Derrick, and Arlena each begin to question the paths theyтАЩve been set on. Can they defy the fate that demands war between humans and sorcerers and bring peace to their divided world? Or will the dark forces at play ensure their destinies remain bound by conflict?
An epic tale of magic, friendship, and choosing your own destiny, The Hezakhal Dungeon will captivate fans of fantasy and adventure.
