Obsidian Order

Learn to fight. Pass my trials. Stay alive. As long as I can keep my supernatural origins hidden, my life is simple. It's just my best friend and me against the world, eating dried Ramen and peas, watching reality TV, and laying low in the city that never sleeps. That is until Draven, a dangerously attractive hunter, tracks me down and kidnaps me. He's with the Obsidian Order, and he gives me a choice: join their ranks or die. All I have to do is pass a series of deadly trials at their Academy, competing against a bunch of supernaturals who want me dead. Sounds easy, right? There's one problem with that; I have no memories of my past, which means I don't have the skills to compete. Whatever magic I have inside of me better come out fast, because I've been promised my best friend will die if I fail, and if we both die, the secret we're carrying could fall into the wrong hands. Then it's all over. Contains mature themes.

Find my magic. Be the best. Beat the odds. I survived the Obsidian Order's first series of trials. I stopped a madman from putting a massive crater in the middle of New York City. Good job, Seline, but that was only the beginning. As I take on my silver trials, friends become competition, competitors turn ruthless, and I still can't touch my magic without it nearly killing me every time I do. If I don't win these trials I'll get left behind, and I've been promised that won't be good for me. If that weren't enough, the infuriatingly sexy Draven asks me to accompany him on a mission to retrieve an item of incredible magical power. Naturally, I saddle up and go with him, hoping at the very least to get a few extra credit points on my trials. But what I encounter is bigger than trials or Orders, and could mean the death of us all. Contains mature themes.

Find my brother. Learn the truth. Remember my home. The Obsidian Order is tough, they have to be if they want to turn prospects into elite agents. I want to be one of those agents, and right now I'm closer than ever to achieving that goal. Hunting Valoel down is my primary goal. The word on the street is he's recruiting mages to fight for his cause. I'm not sure what his cause is, but I know it's not good. Draven would have us just kill him outright and be done with it, but Valoel said he was my brother. Maybe he can tell me about my past? My parents? My old life I have no memory of. I need to find Valoel, and I need to find him quickly, but that means navigating a dangerous web of mages, none of whom are naturally friendly toward my kind. To make matters worse, I run into someone who turns my entire worldview on its head. Now, more than ever, I need to learn who I truly am. It's the only way I'm going to survive what's to come. Contains mature themes.

Find the last stone. Stop my brother. Save the world. Valoel, my half-brother, is on the hunt, only this time he doesn't want to recruit me-he wants to straight up murder me. I don't have a choice. I have to kill him first. Before I can do that, I need to find the fifth stone. Without it, my chances of beating him are slashed. The only problem is, I have no idea where to start looking for it. With only a few options and very little time to figure out which is the best one, I'm going to have to count on the one person I'd rather not see again in my life to make this work. Draven. To save myself, my city, and my friends, I have to push past my own pain and dig deep into whatever's left of me. I can't let Valoel find the fifth stone. If he does, we'll all be puppets to his whim. and I'm nobody's puppet. Contains mature themes.
