Magic Was Never A Gift

A rebellious teen from a quiet village.
A mysterious death.
And hooded figures knocking on his door right after.

Magic is not a gift.
Not when you don't control it - and not when it controls you.

Forced into a world he was never meant to enter, the teenager comes face to face with the true nature of magic: fear, power, and corruption.
The magicians who once protected the world have become something else - closer to barbarians than saviors.

Hunted, broken, and never truly alone, he forms uneasy alliances with magical creatures long forgotten.
As ancient forces awaken, a massive war is inevitable - and magic will demand its price.
