The Art of Rebellion

The kingdom of Shura is run by corrupt leaders. The common folk are reduced to a status below human while the nobles enjoy lives of luxury. Kol decides to take a stand against those in power, and joins the Tyr Rebellion, a growing group of people who oppose the current king's rule. The further down the road toward a better future he goes, the harder the choices he has to make are. Wit alone is not enough to oppose an entire kingdom, so he relies on the use of that which blooms only in the rarest souls; Magic.
How does the kingdom succeed in oppressing nearly the entirety of its people? With the power of its strongest sorcerer, the king's right hand, who has the ability to ensnare the minds of others and force them to bow to his will. Will Kol and the rebellion succeed in overcoming their many obstacles, or will their dreams go up in flames?
