Celestial Shadow

**Julian Vance, the Forgemaster, goes undercover in the kingdom's most prestigious magical institution.**
The Academy of Shadows has opened its doors. Julian Vance-outlaw, mercenary, Forgemaster-has infiltrated Royal Aether Academy under the guise of Lord Julian Ashford, a nobleman with dangerous void-touched abilities. His mission: uncover the secrets of the Arch-Architects, locate the fifth citadel, and prepare for the war against the Void.
But the Academy is a viper's nest of political intrigue, magical rivalry, and hidden agendas. Julian must navigate aristocratic duels,Church conspiracies, and the constant threat of exposure while secretly searching for the ancient citadel buried beneath the city.
When he discovers a secret order of dissidents within the Academy, Julian uncovers a truth more terrifying than he imagined-the Church has been experimenting with Void energy, creating Shadow Beasts, and plotting to establish a theocratic empire. The High Priest plans to use the Void to conquer the kingdom.
Julian must choose: maintain his cover and gather intelligence, or burn his identity to stop the conspiracy. But the Void is watching, waiting, and it has sent a commander to claim the forge core.
**Celestial Shadow: The Un-Mana Infiltrator** is the explosive fourth volume in the epic fantasy series that follows Julian Vance, a nineteen-year-old engineer from Earth who died and was reborn in a world of magic and technology.
