Forces of Power is a young adult fantasy series about a young man who struggles to find his place in a world where everyone has powers based on the forces of nature.
Book 1: Trials of Power
Eighteen-year-old Dane Willows has long awaited his chance to compete in the Trials of Power, a rigorous triumvirate of tests designed to challenge intelligence, survival instinct, and combat prowess. Only then will Dane awaken the power inside him, as is tradition. Will he become a mighty Geomancer, able to shape stone and earth? Or a cunning Luminarus, able to bend and distort the very light around him? Dane can barely contain his excitement as his Trials commence, ready to earn his place in Physos and discover his true calling. Then everything goes wrong.
A solar inferno erupts outside the Trials Arena at the hands of the mysterious Avon, a power-hungry renegade thought dead decades ago after destroying an entire city. Now Avon has returned, his power unmatched. So long as Avon lives, no city is safe from his wrath. And he’s not alone. With the future of Physos in the balance, Dane and his allies must race across Physos in search of answers and end Avon’s reign of calamity before more lives are lost. All too soon, Dane realizes the real trials have only just begun.
Book 2: Balance of Power
Physos is in turmoil. Maluin and his Ferron forces have invaded Stonehelm, the Geomancer capital, in search of a power beyond that of the energy wells. Avon continues his path of destruction as he rampages east, his sights set on his next victim. But under the shroud of shadow, an even greater evil stirs.
Deep beneath the Shrouded Isle, Dane and Quinn are losing hope. There are no signs of their captured allies. Unseen horrors lurk behind every darkened corner. The thought of escape dims as quickly as the natural light. Then Dane stumbles across something worse than the Chemocytes lurking in the endless tunnels, a secret hundreds of years in the making that is certain to shape the fate of Physos itself. Even in a world founded on peace and prosperity, power must have a balance.
