A military academy on the edge of conflict

The Scholae trains cadets for leadership in a powerful interstellar military, placing Asher Lockhart within an institution where ambition and ability carry political weight. The publisher’s description links a friend’s concealed past and an influential rival family with an invasion of a friendly planet, while a princess risks much in the unfolding crisis. These threads converge on Cassoria’s future: the looming conflict concerns not only military power, but who will shape the kingdom and bear the cost. As the first book in the Numenborn series, Compass sets its academy-centered fantasy against a wider struggle over legacy and authority.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in military fantasy and officer-training settings.
  • Those who enjoy stories combining academy life with political rivalries and interplanetary conflict.
  • Readers seeking the opening volume of a fantasy series.

Book overview

Compass: Book One of the Numenborn Series

At the Scholae, cadets are forged into officers, warriors, and future leaders of the most powerful military in the galaxy.

Asher Lockhart fits that world too well: brilliant, reckless, and powerful enough to make the wrong people nervous. Then the cracks start showing.

A friend's hidden past. A rival family with too much influence. An army invading a friendly planet. A princess who knows who she is and risks everything. And a kingdom is drifting toward a conflict that could swallow legacies whole.

Asher has spent his life learning how to fight. But fighting won't be enough when the real battle is over who gets to shape the future of Cassoria-and who gets sacrificed to build it.
