Sixteen-year-old Elais Valin was born for greatness, or so he believed. Growing up in a quiet village with a mother who guarded her secrets as closely as her heart, Elais dreamed of the day he would enter the Academy of Arcanum and claim his father’s magical legacy. But fate has a cruel sense of timing. On the eve of his departure, tragedy strikes, leaving Elais alone with nothing but a silver leaf pendant and a crushing grief. When he finally reaches the Academy, the dream turns into a nightmare. While other students conjure light and command the elements from leather-bound tomes, Elais cannot spark a single flame. Branded a failure and expelled by a cold headmaster, he is cast into the streets with his identity shattered. Everything changes when a mysterious traveler named Dars arrives, crackling with the scent of ozone. Dars reveals a truth the Academy is too afraid to teach: Elais is not a wizard, but a sorcerer. His power doesn’t come from books—it flows from his blood. Driven by a need for belonging, Elais follows this stranger into a world of dark fae and ancient dangers. But as Elais begins to master his wild, primal magic, Dars is taken by shadow agents. To save his teacher, Elais must embark on a journey that will force him to confront the dark secrets of his bloodline and a father he never knew.
