War for the Entar by Michael Mueller

He was the best fighter at his old academy. At the Sword, he's not even close.

"This is the work of a writer who trusts their story."
-- Rachel K., Beta Reader

"It made me want to protect these boys, even knowing I can't."
-- Patience M., Beta Reader

"Jones is compelling, James is mysterious, and I want to see what happens."
-- James F., Beta Reader

Norman Jones was the best fighter at his old academy. Top marks. Undefeated. First in everything.

Then he transfers to the Luranian Sword.

On his first day, he meets James Taunton, a boy who fights like a legend and lives like a ghost. No parents. No friends. No one who stays.

Jones decides to stay.

What begins as a rivalry becomes the most important bond either of them will ever form. Before the war. Before the Entar. Before everything changed, there was a brotherhood forged in the only place that could have made them.

The universe behind the story

This saga was built over three decades. Over thirty alien species, each with their own history, biology, and culture. Nine distinct magic systems. A timeline spanning 13,000 years. Multiple star systems. Nine novels, fully mapped from beginning to end.

One creator. One vision. No committee, no focus group, no corporate notes.

Power is earned through sacrifice in this universe, not prophecy. Consequences are permanent. There is no plot armor. Every character earns their place, or they don't survive.

For fans of:

• The academy crucible of Ender's Game
• The found-family bonds of Harry Potter
• The earned rivalries of Naruto
• The galactic scale of Star Wars

Book Two of the War for the Entar saga. A prequel novella (~114 pages) that establishes the rivalry at the heart of a nine-novel universe.

Also available: A Warrior's Burden (Book One) -- the novella that launches the saga.
