The Vine Tattoo

Talon Kyres spends his days by the lake, and his nights avoiding the moonlight. Years spent on the calm Southern Island have created a peaceful, if slow life. One night, a woman with hidden power shatters this world, pulling Talon into a rekindling war, surreal powers, and the history of a family he had never known.
Entering the mainland, Talon learns of Syncing—an ancient technique used to command the elements. With battles rivaling the strength of natural disasters, will Talon learn to master his birthright as well, or will his choice to follow a stranger to war bring nothing but regret?
