In a world where Mages reign supreme, magic is more than just power - it is privilege. To wield the arcane is to command wealth, knowledge, and influence beyond the reach of ordinary men. But magic is not freely given. It demands an innate gift, vast resources, and an education only the elite can afford. For those born without these advantages, the door to true power is sealed shut.Septrian has none of what makes a Mage - no noble lineage, no boundless wealth, no formal training. Yet, he refuses to accept his place among the powerless. His unrelenting ambition and an unorthodox understanding of magic set him on a path few dare to walk. When a chance encounter grants him a sliver of opportunity, he seizes it with both hands.But magic is not kind to outsiders. And those who defy tradition do not go unchallenged.If Septrian wants to stand among the Mages, he must do more than prove himself - he must survive them.
