About the Book

Some Lessons Must Be Learned The Hard Way. Since its inception, The Order has been dedicated to the prevention of the misuse and abuse of magic. For seven decades this mandate has guaranteed peace and stability throughout The Nine Kingdoms. But a potential threat to the peace has emerged, and its source is much closer to home than the leadership of The Order may realise. Arrogant, manipulative, confrontational and angry. Undesirable qualities in a person at the best of times, but more so in a young woman born with the power to bring kingdoms to their knees. Kayden Jayta, precocious apprentice of The Order, is all these things and more, yet wholly unwilling to acknowledge and rectify her many troubling traits. Unbeknown to anyone, Kayden's resolute determination to join the ranks of The Order is born of a secret that puts her priorities at odds with the precepts of the organisation, setting her inexorably on a collision course with the most powerful institution in The Nine Kingdoms. If Kayden is to be dissuaded from walking the path she has chosen, averting tragic consequences in the process, two unanswered questions must be answered: What is the dark secret guiding Kayden's actions? And, why has a legendary figure within The Order, with a secret of her own, taken undue interest in Kayden's future?

About the Author :
The reclusive Ian Gregoire is a taciturn introvert residing somewhere in London, where he was born and raised. Of all lifes diversions, reading and writing are the only ones he ever deemed worthwhile enough to be passionate about. This eventually led to his belated decision to pursue his true calling in life as a fantasy and science fiction author. His debut novel, The Exercise Of Vital Powers, is just the first of many books he intends to inflict upon an unsuspecting world. On the occasions he steps out of his reading and writing comfort zone, Ian has a fondness for computing, melancholy music, retro gaming, and Asian Cinema. Ian also loves peace and quiet, something that is in frustratingly short supply in his life.

Review :
It grabs your attention from the first page and keeps you invested for the next few hundred... (Fantasy Book Critic) ...I just couldn't stop reading and stayed up way past bedtime because I had to know what happened next. (Suzanne Rogerson, author of Visions Of Zarua) The prose is both eloquent and concise... The author has a way with words that make mundane sentences more beautiful. (Goodreads Review) ...I don't think I was expecting such an engaging, well thought out story from a self-published debut novel that I had never heard of before... (Superstardrifter.com) An enthralling journey of inner discovery (Kreative Joose) I've never read a book which had such an unlikable character as the lead, but Ian Gregoire made it work... (Rebecca Howie, author of The Game Begins) ...the world Gregoire created is so compelling, I had to keep reading. (I.L. Cruz, author of A Smuggler's Path) I don't pretend to be the most well read person, but I found this to be completely unique, and I loved it! I felt very engaged right from the start, and somehow became even more engaged by the end. (The Writing Process) ...a wonderful character driven story in a richly created world with an interesting magic system. (Becky M, YouTube) I would recommend this book to fans of very character-driven stories with slow pacing, complex characters and powerful female leads. (Nana's Fantastical Reads) ...this book was sneaky amazing. (The Effervescent Bookworm) This book is great with wonderful magical world building. (Goodreads Review) ...Gregoire has done an amazing job of creating a feeling of tension throughout, while leaving us guessing as to what will happen next (Tome Tender) I was not disappointed. There is mystery, excitement, intrigue, and magic...I recommend it to any lover of magical fantasy. (Goodreads Review)
