Trial of Mettle

There's no time left. The Trial of Mettle is finally here. For one day, the cadets are given a chance to prove their valor in combat. Sinhar has spent the past four-hundred days training for this opportunity. Every bit of hardship has come down to this: one battle royale between the classes to prove who is worthy of an apprenticeship in the Mystic Order. Sinhar has done all he can. His understanding of magic is still rudimentary but his combat instincts have been honed to a knife's edge. Despite all his preparation, he knows he may not have what it takes. Every combatant wants the number one spot and they'll do anything to get it. All of the Sebelian south is watching, including the top masters of the Mystic Order. Sinhar will gamble everything in one final bout.

The Law of Might novella trilogy concludes with the final installment, Trial of Mettle.
