Ninth Circle Book 1: The First Steps

Damien Ross was different. Unlike the others he couldn't use his aura from birth. Everyone called him a null mage, or a mage with no power. But when he turned 12 and went for his spirit awakening, it was discovered he had one of the rarest auras of all, the silver aura of the dragon king, and a dragon spirit to match.

Trouble is, no one has seen such an aura or spirit in centuries. So when he goes to the Battle Spirit Academy he has immense difficulty learning the skills he needs.

In addition, someone has stolen the star fragment, a piece of a celestial artifact that fell to Earth 200 years ago. Nobody knows what the fragment will do in the wrong hands, but it will fall to Damien to find the fragment. He will also shoot for the stars, and try for the strongest battle spirit rank, the Ninth Circle.
