Chronicles of Genticus: Invasion of the North

Navihm is a foreigner who has come to the Ianterran school for the gifted to learn to control his strange magic. Gifted with both Spirit and Elemental magic, Navihm must learn all he can from the Elemental masters of the Lowlands if he wants to stop his magic causing havoc. But When trouble threatens the North, Navihm must return to his home country of Genticus to defend his home and his family from invasion. What will happen when his beloved's life is threatened? Excerpt: “Come here, child,” the Rei said. “We have guests”. The King’s daughter made her way to his side as he gestured for her to do, her eyes never leaving Navihm’s and his never leaving her’s. She pressed one hand against her mouth, it seemed to be the only way she could stop gaping at the other boy. “Meu Rei,” Navihm addressed the King without breaking eye contact with the girl. “May I have your permission to greet Regina Kaia?” The Rei nodded formally. “You may.” Navihm surged forward just and Kaia’s face crumpled with an emotion that Rose could not quite discern. Rose looked on as Navihm wrapped his arms around this stranger intimately and murmured softly in her ears. He pressed his forehead against hers as one of her hands reached up to grasp firmly onto his lapel, fisting around the soft fabric, the other pressed even more firmly to her mouth as if to stop a great rush of emotion from spilling out.
