The First Fear - The Empowered Ones, #1

The Supreme rules the world. Under the tyrannical grip of the Supreme, the vast Imperium cowers, its citizens shackled by fear and repression. Dreams of liberty have withered for most, buried under the weight of her despotism, while potential dissenters lurk silently in the shadows. On the fringes of this oppressive domain, Elian, a young man of unassuming origins, stumbles upon a power within himself that could shift the balance of power. A dangerous revelation thrusts Elian into the path of the Supreme's most lethal enforcer, compelling him to flee for his life.
During his desperate escape, he encounters a band of rebels led by a magnetic leader convinced that the secrets entombed in the ruins of the once-glorious Kingdom of Aeranyth hold the key to their salvation. As Elian joins their perilous quest to unearth these mysteries, he must navigate a maze of challenges. Will he live to ignite the spark of revolution, or will his flame be extinguished in the struggle?---Reviews for The First Fear"Fans of Sanderson will love this one." - The Bookwyrm speaks"This was such a great book!
