Jace has lived a hard life on the street, resorting to sly tricks and sneaking to survive. Despite his lack of wealth, he has also strived to mentor himself to control and use magic; a skill that was primarily only taught to those with the money to pay for it. Yet of all the schools an aspiring sorcerer could attend, Arch-CoΓ±ecemento was every novice's dream. For Jace, this was no different. For a man of his status, however, he was sure he would never be given the opportunity. This would ultimately change the day he met Jadis, a well respected and graduate member of the college. Whether by his own interest, or the will of another, Jace finds himself before the doors of the college, and the opportunity to attend the college just within reach. Would Jace take this opportunity? And better yet, would he risk himself and attempt the most dangerous goal of every novice who attended? Would he take the Enderkinesis Trials?
