Ever since he was a kid, all Balt Vana wanted was to be a world-renowned Jekua Summoner like his grandmother, battling other Summoners in front of audiences of thousands. But from where he stands now, living up to the Vana name feels impossible.
When his best friend Alani, an initiate at the local Church, is sent on a pilgrimage to find her path in life and the god she will follow, Balt sees the perfect opportunity to launch his career by escorting her across the archipelago and its purple seas. The islands are filled with monsters to imprint and Summoners to battle, with every victory bringing him one step closer to his dream.
It will take more than just his family name to reach the same heights as his grandmother, but Balt won't stop until he does.
Praise for On Lavender Tides
"Some books make me want to shout to the world how much I love them, to try and convince everyone to read them. On Lavender Tides makes me want to retreat into a cave with all the existing copies and slowly turn into Gollum as I refuse to share with anyone else. Travis has absolutely knocked it out of the park with On Lavender Tides, and it is... precious to me." - John Bierce, author of Mage Errant
"This was one of most enjoyable books I’ve read in a while, and I truly mean it when I say that absolutely everything about this book was so much fun. The creativity in this book is off the charts and combines everything I love, from adventures through a spectacular world to quirky and incredible animal-like creatures to charismatic characters–it has it all!" - Forever Lost in Literature
"This book not only set a new bar in progression fantasy for me, but it also showed how wildly creative and immersive the genre can be when in good hands. An absolute triumph!" - Zamil Akhtar, author of Gunmetal Gods
