Two schools: One of magic and science, the other focused on military excellence.
A dangerous undercurrent flows within both...dark and deadly.
Everson is brilliant, ingenious, and yet, he feels broken. Cursed with a disability, he dreams of nothing more than being useful. Quinn is bold, defiant, and will do anything to protect her brother.
When Everson is accepted to an academy of magic and engineering, Quinn enters a school of combat in order to join him in Fallbrandt. However, things within the fabled institutions are not what they seem. Beneath a mantra of good intentions and the objective of a better future, spies and conspiracies lurk.
Quinn finds herself embroiled in a struggle she doesn't understand, one with dire consequences as her training shifts from difficult to deadly. Her relentless determination and will to survive might be enough, if she only knew whom she could trust.
Within the other school, Everson learns about a dangerous power known as Chaos. Unable to wield this magic, he is instead intent on melding Chaos with science, dreaming up inventions that would shape the future. Perceptive, imaginative, and curious, his endeavors lead him to a revelation that could change the world...and then, he discovers the truth.
A Warden's Purpose kicks off a series that melds The Kingsmen with epic fantasy, where magic and enchanted weapons replace technology. Do you have what it takes to be a Warden?
Review
"It was a great adventure with a fantastic plot line, likable characters, and excellent world building." - Goodreads Review
" I absolutely love everything about this book. The characters are amazing and the story itself is fresh and unique. I can't wait to read more!" - Goodreads Review
"I really enjoyed the "shades of steampunk" focus on engineering and science. Everson displays the mind of a true inventor. There are mysterious political events that coalesce nicely into a thickening plot." - Goodreads Review
"For anyone who wants a legitimately entertaining and, as previously mentioned, solid YA fantasy story to read, this one's a great pick." - Goodreads Review
"I'm always a sucker for school oriented stories and this was one of the more unique schools that I've read about. I loved the idea of magic, runes and engineering combining to create a host of cool inventions for me to read about. " - Goodreads Review
"I definitely enjoyed this book and would like to read the second one later this year. Thank you, Jeffrey, for sending this to me." - Goodreads Review
"I like the characters and the idea of a differently-abled person in the context of a less technologically developed world. Everson's need to be useful absolutely makes sense as a driver for his character. I also liked having two main characters with opposite personalities and strengths, and it's nice that the thinky inventor disabled one is a boy and the more impulsive enforcer physical one is a girl. Yay turning tropes on their head! Having different academies for each of them also made it less of a typical young-hero-goes-to-school story (I'm a bit tired of those). The world building is nicely done: the politics are interesting, there's enough details about crafts and people's everyday lives to be believable but not over the top, and the magic system and the way it interacts with mechanical engineering is excellent, and again makes sense without getting too information-dump-ish on the reader." - Goodreads Review
