Evan never thought he was going to be special. As the adopted son of a tailor, he had always expected to manage the shop after his father passed. But when his Aura awakens, he finds himself entering Yesgol Academy of Magic, a place filled with the children of elite mages and nobles, all of whom have had magical education from the time they could walk. Among such prestigious company, Evan will have to learn fast or be left in the dust and in debt.

At Yesgol, he studies the arts of enchanting and divination, but all is not as it seems. As Evan pushes forwards his skills as a mage to catch up with his peers, he finds himself entangled with a secret society for the reformation of magic, deals with the occasional extraplanar horror appearing in the shadows of the school, and catches the eye of a charming young noble who's been excommunicated from his family.

Lio Aetos is a young aristocrat and heir apparent to a legendary sect, a prodigious talent born and bred for glory.

Solus is a slave, a lost patrician from the fallen city of Rome with nothing to his name.

On all sides, dark forces gather. A demon horde sweeps across the West, leaving nothing but salt and ash in its wake. In the great city of Olympia, Tyrants fight under an empty throne, waging war beneath The Storm That Never Ceases. Deadly assassins and immortal cultivators hide in the shadows.

To stand against the Tyrants, against the Heavens, is madness. Certain death awaits.

Yet – the path to power is one wrought with ruinous tribulation.

Lio and Solus accept the challenge.
