The Sane Vessel (Spite of the First Book 1)

Vessels do not ask for their curse, but they may topple this nation with it.

Kalnen is a nation ruled by mercenaries, their power coming at the cost of their humanity, brutally forcing unstable elemental magic into the innocent bodies of Vessels.

Orun and Zarna are the only Vessels not in chains, capable of immense destruction at the cost of their sanity. They have gained their freedom, but now must choose their path in a land that is not their own and would rather use them as living bombs.

Zarna wants to see the world burn. Orun just wants to go home.

The long-lasting peace between the mercenary houses is rotten, their oaths strained, they will soon use Vessels to scorch their lands and lay waste to one another.

Orun and Zarna each have a part to play in the coming civil war.

Will they fight for peace, or to ensure fire, lightning, and blood are spilled?
