RIPPLED FRACTURE

In a world where mana flows through all things, those who can wield it are known as mancers-warriors capable of shaping the elements and standing against the darkness that threatens humanity.
Polan is the son of legends.
His parents were among the greatest mancers, heroes who gave their lives to save the city from a catastrophic calamity. Their names are carved in stone. Their legacy, untouchable.
Now, at sixteen, Polan enters the academy where future mancers are forged-carrying expectations he never asked for.
But while others rise with confidence, Polan struggles to keep up.
As friendships form and paths begin to diverge, something beneath the surface starts to fracture. A hidden truth. A distortion in fate itself.
And when reality begins to break-
Polan will be forced to confront a question no one else can answer:
