From the aspiring teen author Connor MacHarg, comes the first in a three-part dystopian fiction series, The Carenth Trilogy, and it begins with a thrill-seeking adventure of life within the walls of a time-hardened city. On the planet of Carenth rests the city of Uguria. With eighty-seven levels of unforgiving metal, it was home to Magnus Aureum. From being rescued as a newborn to being trained as a brutal warrior, he felt different. Unlike his peers with a foreign build, he yearned to belong. He trained for years to become as powerful as he could and to finally gain respect. But even in his efforts, there was still something missing. When he felt a calling to be something better, he followed it. But he was unaware it would lead him to do something unforgivable. He left his once-called home and took a sacred weapon, but the future it would guide him into was a life he knew nothing about. Discovering a forgotten past and learning the secrets of a mystical weapon would bring a fate far from what he could have possibly imagined. A fate of batting crooks, thwarting weapons deals, and forming new bonds leads him to embark on a journey to become better than the people he left.
