When a magic ritual goes disastrously wrong, Jaden is exiled to the heart of the desert and left to die. Battered and bruised, Jaden encounters the outcast Nomadwater Sect, who grant him a second chance at life as a mysterious arcane cultivator.
With its savage beasts and cryptic mysteries, survival in the sprawling desert of Southfall is a dangerous game. Yet Jaden and the Nomadwater Sect persevere, growing closer and forming bonds over the course of a long summer.
This changes the day the Gods kill their leader, seize the sect, and task Jaden with competing in the legendary Tournament of the Gods.
If Jaden survives the tournament, the members of his sect live. If he dies, they die alongside him.
Jaden now has just ten days to rank up. Ten days to master the dragonessence system. Ten days to save those who have become his new family.
And even then, it might not be enough...
Arcane Cultivator peaked in the top 1100 of the Kindle US Store. It has sold over 5,600 copies and has had nearly 2 million page reads.
Jaden braced himself.
What was about to happen marked the culmination of years of dedicated training. It was the path his father had taken, and now it was his.
Like the other water harvester, Jaden wore a fresh set of maroon robes. His long dark hair was pulled back behind his ears, and there were no sect markings on his face. Not yet, anyway. Those would come later, once he had been selected by one of the Six Sects.
His heart settled in his chest as the desert mage looked down at him from her raised platform and finally spoke: “Welcome, Jaden Spirit. From this point forward, most of your memories will be stripped away. You will be reborn as a water harvester, one with access to a forbidden power known as dragonessence. This is the same power that fed dragons long ago, the same that is managed by the dragonessence system. Are you aware of this? Are you aware of the repercussions of accepting this role?”
Jaden couldn’t make out the face of the woman that stood over him, but he knew her to be a powerful desert mage, one able to unlock his hidden powers. “Yes, Your Ladyship.”
“Once you make it seven years in the deserts of Southfall with your new sect, you will complete your Rite of Fulfillment. Your memory will be restored. Your name and legacy will be championed. Yet the road ahead will prove to be the most challenging thing you have ever faced. This is your last chance to choose another path. Is this what you would like? Would you like to become a water harvester?”
Jaden nodded his head. “Yes, Your Ladyship.”
“Good. Then let the Trine Ceremony begin.”
