The Chronicles of William Wilde

Seventeen-year-old orphan William Wilde just wants to finish high school. When Serena Paradiso enters his life, he learns his friends have been hiding secrets about his heritage — the same secrets known to Kohl Obsidian, the man who murdered William's family and intends to do the same to William. Someone is destined to master the magic in their blood. The life of an 1980s teenager has never been so deadly.

Having survived Kohl Obsidian, William hoped his senior year would be uneventful. Instead, his victory has caught the attention of far greater threats — mahavans, powerful magic-users from the island of Sinskrill who seek to capture and enslave him. Surrounded by people for whom deceit and pain are simple currencies, William's best hope may lie with someone he always considered his mortal enemy.

William survived Sinskrill, but the nightmares haven't stopped. He cannot forget what was done to him, Jake, and those still trapped on that cursed island. To find closure — and to free his trapped teacher Fiona and the troll Travail — he must return to Sinskrill. He has powerful allies in Rukh and Jessira, but must first master his own magic and face the Servitor, Sinskrill's terrifying ruler, with an even greater threat waiting beyond: the fallen god Shet.

The raid on Sinskrill succeeded, but the war is just beginning. William must find a way to prevent Lord Shet from returning to Earth from the distant world of Seminal. Strange visions plague him — Sapient Dormant, the Overward of the necrosed, has been tasked by Shet to recover a lost talisman of power. The Servitor of Sinskrill has also learned Arylyn's location and is moving to deliver a crippling blow.

William and Serena are recovering from devastating losses, but the war between Arylyn and Sinskrill is reaching its end. Both sides train and prepare for a final battle neither truly wants — though peace remains impossible while the Servitor rules. He has roused Salachar Rakshasa, an ancient demon no one can truly control, and Shet on the faraway world of Seminal is awake and marshalling his armies. The finale to the Chronicles of William Wilde.
