First Wands: Alpin Legacy follows Aiden, a young boy who washes ashore in Alba with his mother as an infant. Raised among the Caledonians in the wild lands of the North, Aiden grows up knowing nothing of his true heritage. But after his twelfth name day, strange abilities awaken within him, whispering of a past long buried and a destiny not yet written. As unexplainable events unfold, he is drawn into the secret world of magic and an ancient legacy—one that ties him to artifacts of immense power that could change the course of history. Meanwhile, far to the south, the ruthless Roman general Gnaeus Julius Agricola, a secret wielder of dark magic, leads the Empire’s relentless expansion into Britannia and finally toward Caledonia. With his trusted right hand, Rufius Festinius, and his own son, Marcus—who is Aiden’s age—Agricola sets his sights on conquest and domination. As war looms, Aiden must confront the truth of who he is, forging bonds of friendship and trust while learning what it means not only to be a man, but a wizard. Standing against forces that seek to enslave the world, he will have to decide whether to embrace his destiny—or let it consume him.
