Whisperers and Keepers by Vanessa Bettencourt
The Silver Stone Challenge
Book 1
The Silver Stone Festival is the most important celebration of the Eskar Kingdoms. Spectators arrive in Ivoer from every capital to watch the Knights of the Order and cadets of their Academies face the trials and witness the Silver Stone.
Sixteen-year-old Eilenar lives alone with his mother on the outskirts of Ivoer. Kept away from the festival and the Order of Eskar Academy since he was born, this year he learns his name is on the lists.
If his team wins, Ivoer gets to keep the Silver Stone in the city for another year... And the victor of the final challenge gets to ask for a wish from the powerful artifact.
But the Silver's light attracts strange visitors that only Eilenar seems to see. Darkness enfolds the city, but Eilenar will not be alone. The winged guardian's voice finds Eilenar. Magic is awakening again. Can Eilenar help his team and keep his secret?
The rules have changed... and not all who seek the stone will play by them.
Content warning:
Whisperers and Keepers is a dark fantasy series that explores dark medieval themes such as violence (including towards minors), trauma, slavery and swearing.

The people of Morandia are myriad. Families and dynasties, tribes and kingdoms, armies and lone travelers color and cross both continents and nine nations.
Emperors, Matriarchs, and warlords carve their names into stone, are inked across maps: Pentaros, Idonea, Scalaros. Others names are known only in whispers, forgotten except in local tavern tales and firelight camps: FireHeart, Kessen, Nomothet...
Even the forgotten leave their mark upon history...
