A Will Beyond The World

In Vespera, power is decided at birth-by noble bloodlines, divine favour, and the strength of one's magic. Ronan has none of it. An orphan with a single fire affinity and a shallow mana pool, he's the last person anyone expects to matter in the hallowed halls of Serenwyn Magic Academy.

But Ronan carries something far more dangerous than talent: an unyielding will, a body honed into a weapon, and a rage he has sworn never to unleash. That vow is tested when a "harmless" perception skill turns out to be cursed-showing him visions of a forgotten war between gods and mortals. At the same time, an ancient, sinister flame merges with his soul, granting him terrifying power at the cost of his sanity.

As nightmares bleed into reality, Ronan is drawn into a hunt for the truth-through corrupted lands, lost histories, and enemies who would see his mind broken. To protect his found family, Samantha and Kairos, he will have to wield the very fury he fears, risking the one thing he cannot replace: his humanity.

The gods measure worth by birthright. Ronan will prove them wrong. Because some strength comes not from magic, but from a will strong enough to defy the world itself.
