A return of a long defeated threat changes everything for a master of the elements. The power of the elements can be complicated to master. Most reach it through the element bonds, ways of connecting to and shaping power that allowed the nation of Terndahl to thrive for centuries. Few can reach power of their own, an ancient way of holding magic the elemental warriors of old possessed. As spirit master, Tolan teaches how to use the power of the element bonds, but he knows a greater truth. Connected to power of his own, Tolan can use that, along with his bond to the elementals, in ways others cannot. When a threat all thought long ago defeated returns, Tolan finds his service to the Academy will require more than a master of spirit. Stopping this threat requires an ancient elemental warrior, but what if even that magic is not enough? The Shape of Fire is the start of an exciting fantasy adventure series.
The true spirit master remains at large. Tolan might be the only one able to stop him, but he must find the truth within himself first. The element bonds, for so long the primary way to reach the power of the elements, have been tainted. The threat Tolan has long feared has revealed himself but escaped before his plan could be stopped. Now Tolan and his allies must travel beyond the waste to search for answers. The journey again takes him away from his teaching responsibilities. Now that Tolan has gifted the knowledge of spirit to other spirit shapers, he's no longer certain he's the best spirit instructor, especially not when another exists who's so much more skilled with spirit than him. If he's not the spirit master for the Academy, then how can he best serve the Academy? Another attack beyond the waste forces his hand. What he finds are more questions and a plot deadlier than anything he's ever faced before. Tolan struggles to stop Var, but how can he stop a master spirit shaper who knows everything he does?
The threat Tolan has long feared has been defeated, but a new danger emerged, one that poses a threat to both shapers and the elementals. For the first time since mastering his connection to the elements, Tolan fears an elemental. He's long advocated the elementals were misunderstood, and tried convincing others within Terndahl to free them from the bond, but the appearance of Light has proven his mistake. Chasing the threat leads Tolan to take a dangerous journey, one that challenges all that he's learned of spirit and brings him back to the lands beyond the waste where he discovers a secret hidden from the rest of the world for centuries. What he uncovers is more deadly than anything he's ever known, and one his unique connection to the elements might not be enough to stop. It will take more than a master of spirit to survive; it will take a true element warrior.
The final book in the Elemental Warrior series Having barely survived the Lands Beyond, Tolan recuperates while preparing for the next attack. His closest allies are gone, leaving him floundering for answers, along with his place in the Academy. Tolan must protect Terndahl before the elementals attack. After years spent teaching others the elementals were no danger, he fears the repercussions of changing course. When even an elemental warrior might not be enough, Tolan must find the elemental nature within him. The gripping conclusion of the Elemental Warrior series!
