In a city where magic runs through the streets in all forms, dissent is brewing among a group of magical elitists who believe that Mages should rule the city alone, instead of alongside humans. They bring together a powerful group of young Mages to support them in this journey with promises of power, family and truth. The only problem is getting these powerful Mages on their side. Julian Strom is the son of one of the most powerful sorcerers in the city, and would do anything to bring his mother back to him and regain his father's trust. When he is approached by a mysterious group of Mages with an opportunity to compete against the city's most talented young Mages for power beyond his wildest dreams, he can't pass it up. Along the way, Julian meets a group of other Mages, including Lyla, a witch with healing powers, and Archer, a wind elemental. Will he find a way to bring his mother back, or will the balance of competition and friendship prove to be too much to handle? Thanks so much to @TheLittleMissShadow for my beautiful cover!
