In the city of Aethelburg, your destiny is written in the stars. Your birth sign is your fate, and for Kaelen, that fate is chaos.Born under the sign of the Stormcaller, Kaelen's gift is one of raw, untamed power-a force of nature in a society that values control above all else. Relegated to the city's lowest ring, his immense magic is used for little more than cracking rocks in a quarry, a constant, humiliating reminder of his place. Marked by his storm-purple eyes and premature grey hair, he is an outcast, feared by his family and scorned by the elite.But when the annual Ascendant Trials are announced, Kaelen sees a desperate path to a new life. A brutal tournament where any mage can fight for a chance to rise, it's a fool's hope... but it's the only one he has.To win, he must learn to control the inferno within him. He'll face the scorn of polished high-borns, including the chillingly precise Monarch-Born, Valerius, who sees him as a beast to be put down. But the greatest danger may not be in the arena. A shadowy patron from the city's ruling Council has taken an interest, offering Kaelen the tools to win... for a price. This mysterious benefactor sees Kaelen not as a champion, but as a weapon to shatter the city's stagnant order.Now, Kaelen must fight a war on two fronts: one for his survival in the arena, and another for his soul. Is he a hero, a monster, or simply a pawn in a game played by the powerful?Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Will Wight, The Unruly Sky is an epic tale of magical combat, political intrigue, and the struggle to forge your own destiny in a world determined to write it for you. Will Kaelen learn to command the storm within, or will it consume him and the city he's fighting for?
