Maddox Fray was born to be a hero. Or at least, that's what he's always believed. Born to a family that has been called the heroes of their hometown since the time of his great-grandfather, all Maddox has ever wanted is to be a part of that legacy. Unfortunately, so far, he hasn't had much success. One day, a man from Elevar-the world on the other side of the Fissure-shows up on his doorstep, claiming that he knows why that is, that Maddox is the Reaver, a sorcerer destined to save an entire world. Maddox follows the stranger to his world in the hopes that he is right, that he can fulfill this prophecy, but once he gets there, all he does is continue to fail. Eventually, he begins to think if he can't be a hero, maybe he should be the villain instead.Madd
