The Walls of Toterrum - Paperback

by Benjamin Kamphuis (Author)

A forgotten magic. A hunted boy. A world on the edge of war.

In this YA fantasy adventure for fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Zelda, and lyrical worldbuilding, anxious teen Yaron Meek discovers a forbidden power tied to the ancient Auras-and becomes a fugitive from the regime trying to erase them.

Toterrum has ruled Biome for generations, silencing most of the Five Auras: Perception, Vigor, Mentality, Luck, and Empathy. When Yaron accidentally shifts an Aura above a high-ranking officer, it triggers a chain reaction he can't escape.

Forced into exile, Yaron journeys across hidden landscapes and bonds with mystical partner beasts who awaken the forgotten power inside him. But war, betrayal, and an encroaching darkness threaten everything-especially the people he's just begun to trust.

With his fate tied to the return of Aura magic, Yaron must master his gift before the cost becomes irreversible.

Perfect for readers of elemental magic, coming-of-age fantasy, and emotionally rich queer heroes.

Book One of the Shades of Aura series.
