A Blade and a Ring by D K Holmberg

Gavin must stop a man who shares his training and abilities.
Gavin has left the only friends he'd ever made to study his El'aras magic. Though he may share their heritage, he quickly learns that he's not El'aras.
When an attack targets them, and has the ability to counter any El'aras ability, Gavin is all that prevents certain devastation.
Understanding the attack and who is behind it leads Gavin to uncover the truth about his mentor-and there is much Tristan never shared.
There has been another Champion, and he'll stop and nothing to claim a destructive power he believes he's fated to control.
Only Gavin stands in his way. Though Gavin might not be the first Champion, he is the only Chain Breaker.
