25 parts Complete MatureJack has only ever known darkness at home, where the only light in his life is his older sister. But one morning, he wakes up in a strange bed, wearing the face of a sixteen-year-old boy who is nothing like him-except they share the same fear and fire to survive. He's now part of the Colt family, a modest peasant clan on the edges of Arvadis, a land brimming with ancient magic and formidable might. Yet, in a world where everyone has access to Torveins-the core of magic that pulses through every living being-Jack is an outsider, utterly magicless, a ghost in a body that doesn't truly belong.
Desperate and isolated, Jack must rely on his wits to navigate a world that views him as a defenseless oddity. But as he maneuvers through dangerous alliances, deadly rivalries, and forces darker than he can comprehend, Jack realizes this world may be hiding secrets far worse than anything he left behind. And if he can't master its mysteries, he'll have no chance of returning home-if home still even exists.
