Vanguards

The Vanguards series arrives with its first story. Enter an expansive and diverse world with characters of all different backgrounds, identities, colors, and creeds, where their resolve decides the future.

Beyond the borders of the united lands of Rave, danger and mystery lie in wait for the Vanguards. They are an organization dedicated to humanity's survival, unity, and knowledge, who bravely explore the unknown with strong bodies and powerful magic. Dina Carroll's only desire is to join their ranks, but while her mind is sharp, years of dealing with depression and anxiety have left her body frail and magic skills lacking. Still, she has been accepted into the Chorus Vanguards Academy, and only one obstacle remains - a five-day trial of combat and survival, where failure would put an end to Dina's dream. In desperation, she finds allies in two other competitors - the carefree, energetic athlete Tala, and the prideful, stoic swordswoman Najida. Dina must fight to keep up with friend and rival alike, racing to learn magic and outsmart her enemies, but the more she learns about the Vanguards and herself, the further she is entangled in the greatest secrets of her world.
