Solstice

The prophecy has begun. After uncovering the truth about his family and the hidden power flowing through the nation of Virago, Andreas Wahl finds himself standing at the center of forces far greater than himself. The mystical energy known as the Empyrian has awakened within him, transforming his body, reshaping his destiny, and drawing him ever closer to the enigmatic ruler of Virago, Empress Viktoria. But power comes with a price. As Andreas struggles to adapt to a life he never imagined, he discovers that the changes within him are only the beginning. Ancient prophecies speak of a chosen soul whose union with the Empress could restore balance to the Empyrian and usher in a new era for Virago. With the Summer Solstice fast approaching, powerful allies and hidden enemies alike are moving to influence the outcome. The fate of nations now rests upon a single night. Bound by destiny, drawn together by forces neither fully understands, Andreas and Viktoria must place their trust in one another as they race toward a moment foretold for generations. If they succeed, they may save their people and reshape the future of the world. If they fail, the consequences could be catastrophic. Solstice is the sweeping second installment of the Empyrian Trilogy, a tale of destiny, transformation, forbidden power, romance, and the bonds that can change history itself.
