Some gifts are worth the scars they bring.

Aedric Thornvale has always been different. He hears meaning in foreign tongues and sees patterns in ancient stone. But in his village, difference draws the wrong kind of attention.

Forced to run for his life, Aedric finds shelter in the deep woods, far from the only home he's ever known. Alone and defenseless, he prepares to fade into obscurity—until his fifteenth birthday triggers a cosmic event.

Suddenly, Aedric can see the numbers that govern his world. He can measure his speed, track his skills, and quantify the courage it takes to survive.

Guided by a snarky raven and driven by the need to protect his younger brother, Aedric begins a journey of self-discovery. He must transform from a frightened boy into a master of his own fate, unlocking powers that have been dormant for generations.

The System has awakened. The quest has begun.

The First Scar is the perfect introduction to The Soulbound Saga. Grab your copy to join Aedric on his journey from a level one survivor to a legend in the making.
