a witchling tale

At Grand Magisterium Academy, where only the most elite sorcerers, archmages, and royal prodigies are trained, Alden Crimsonreach stands above them all. The heir to the legendary Crimsonreach family, Alden has spent his entire life striving for one goal-to become the strongest mage in history. At only twelve years old, he has already shattered records, reaching Level 89 in magic, surpassing even senior students.

But power comes with a price.

As the academy reopens after winter break, Alden finds himself in the spotlight once again-challenged to a duel by Darian Blackthorn, one of his greatest rivals. Yet, beneath the surface of friendly competition, whispers of an ancient force stirring within the academy begin to surface. The Grand Magister himself warns Alden that his duel is only the beginning of a much greater test-one that could shake the very foundations of the kingdom.

Faced with rivalries, conspiracies, and an unseen darkness lurking within the academy, Alden must decide: Is strength alone enough to forge his destiny, or is there more to power than sheer might?

The flames of supremacy have been lit. And Alden will either rise above all... or be consumed by the fire.
