Academies of the Cosmos: Trident of Fire (Academies of the Cosmos series Book 1)

In a world where elemental magic determines your destiny, Gentry Anton Sagittarius has a secret: he can’t summon a single spark. For years, he’s hidden behind fire crystals and the protection of his older brother, Dayton—a star athlete whose own dreams are shattered in a single, life-altering moment. As Gentry’s friends push for forbidden covens and his family fractures under the weight of unspoken truths, a new power stirs within him; one that doesn’t belong to any elemental at all.

When a dangerous job pulls Dayton into the criminal underworld and Gentry’s closest friends are threatened, the brothers are forced to confront the truth about their origins, their magic, and each other. Their journey will take them from the safety of Empress to the blighted lands of Faery, where monsters prowl and ancient artifacts hold the key to survival or destruction. 

​As the trials of the legendary Trident of Fire loom, Gentry must decide who he truly is: a powerless elemental, or something entirely new. With the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, family, friendship, and love will be tested by fire. 

​Perfect for fans of magical academies, found family, and twisty coming-of-age adventures, Trident of Fire is a story of courage, addiction, and the power of forging your own path; even when the stars say otherwise.
