THE WILD LANDS: EMERGENCE
When magic defines destiny, and childhood gifts become deadly secrets.
In Phoenix Rock, magic is both feared and coveted. When young Dellren Evend's latent abilities manifest beneath the surface, he unwittingly becomes the most valuable and hunted child in the world. Most children wish to be great mages and warriors when they grow up. For Dellren, his extraordinary abilities are a death sentence if discovered.
For Tyko and Vaana Evend, respected members of Phoenix Rock's community, this threat becomes devastatingly personal when their young son Dellren shows signs of magical ability years before he should. As they struggle to protect him from discovery, they must navigate a dangerous path between their public life and their private fears, all while hiding their gifted son.
