Brushstrokes of Defiance (The Runic Artist, #4)

Nate's time at the Etruan Royal University was turbulent, with attacks from both a fellow crafter and a Ducal House having been sent his way. Though he has come out victorious, the threat still looms, set against a greater backdrop of war with Asmuisil.

Nate would like nothing more than to keep his head down and continue to grow into his potential and indulge in his art. Will those who recognise his rising power let him remain on the side lines or will he be drawn deeper into their games?
