A Saga of Wielders and Hunters by Jordan Lee

Fleeing from his home country was the hardest thing Owen Greene thought he had to do to evade the clutches of a persistent Core Wielder. But now he has to face even more hardships as he travels through new territory in search of a safe haven along an underground network called the Silent Road.
Traversing the lands of Avathon once again, Colt O’Malley faces more than the murder he committed against a councilman in Milarc. Not only is there the Legion to avoid, but also Hunters, a merciless group known for seeking people with Astran power like Owen’s for their own personal gain.
Owen and Colt vow to protect each other through it all, fighting and running every chance they get, but soon they will come to a dead end, and a choice will be made that will either end their love or uphold it.
