Imprisoned with his abusive father, Valis' Aesriphos dreams shatter. Can he trust new friends and overcome his trauma?

Valis Bakor arrives at the Aesriphos Monastery with his adoptive parents, ready to begin his journey to become Aesriphos. However, his dreams are shattered when he is thrown into the dungeon for being aligned with the evil god Qos.

Once his fathers rescue him from his prison cell, Valis must fight to win against the people who ardently believe Valis is evil simply because his sire marked him with an evil god’s tattoo. With the help of his newfound friends, Valis must navigate the challenges of monastery life and the prejudices of those around him to prove his innocence and achieve his goals, especially to Tavros, Valis’s secret crush.

Along the way, Valis learns the importance of trust, friendship, and seeing past a person's faults to their true character. Will Valis be able to overcome the obstacles in his way and become the Aesriphos he was meant to be? 

Avristin is a thrilling tale of magic, friendship, and self-discovery that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Join Valis on his journey to save the world from the clutches of evil and discover the true meaning of bravery and friendship.
