Title: Mind’s Awakening
Book I of The Mind-Touch Cycle
When Kelan di’Rase—fisherman’s son turned Imperial Academy novice—discovers that his quiet talent for telekinesis conceals a far rarer gift, the world he thought he understood reshapes itself overnight. Within stone lecture-halls scented with ink and candle-wax, Kelan learns to see the currents of flesh and bone, to knit wounds closed with a thought…or still a heartbeat with the same ease.
Such power attracts as many enemies as mentors. Hounded by jealous classmates, guided by the enigmatic Master Zujan, Kelan flees south-gate politics for the wind-scoured North, where winter clans feast beneath aurora-lit skies—and where rumor speaks of Vorannis, the Wolf of the Steppe, mustering an army no keep can withstand.
On frost-bitten ramparts Kelan faces the price of mastery: wield mercy or ruin, save the woman who has claimed his guarded heart, or watch a frontier town burn. In one shattering moment he silences an invasion…but the echo of that choice brands him a living legend—and a threat no throne can ignore.

Why readers can’t put it down
A magic system you’ll feel in your bones – Telekinesis isn’t just force‐throwing objects; Kelan learns to mend muscle fiber, still blood flow, and redirect the iron in a thousand beating hearts.
Intricate world-building, clan by clan – From Imperial lecture-halls that smell of vellum and lamp-oil to aurora-lit mead halls of the northern tribes, each culture’s politics, cuisine, and rituals of power unfold in living color.
A hero balanced on a knife-edge – Kelan’s gift makes him physician and executioner in the same breath. His every victory demands a reckoning—both within and without.
Bittersweet triumphs, earned the hard way – No deus-ex-machina rescues here; each battle, each healed wound, is paid for in discipline, sacrifice, and sleepless nights of doubt.
Romance that grows from shared danger – When arrow-swift Astrid defends the walls by Kelan’s side, their bond roots in sweat, snow, and whispered hopes—then blooms into something neither power nor prophecy can easily sever.
