Five Sides of a Square

Earth has long known the wonders of alchemy and magic. Many ambitious citizens utilize these natural gifts, and three branches have become an average part of society- Alchemists, the pioneers and scientists, Mages, the pacifistic nomads, and Magicians, the renowned soldiers.

Marvelo Ruiz is none of these. He's tried of course, but no amount of cunning and intelligence births magical aptitude. But Marvelo is gentle, loving and dangerously charismatic, which catches the eye of more then just his non-magical classmates.
To the average citizen, the magical community is a strong as ever, and Marvelo is more concerned with being valedictorian then of mystical politics. He doesn't see the tearing at the seams, the unrest and defiance among their governments. He doesn't see the "club" created for repairing it, until one of its members literally crashes into him.
Marvelo is needed, swept up into the dangerous and beautiful world of magicians, mages, and alchemists, and the boy drama that comes along with saving life as we know it, all while trying to keep his GPA at a 4.0.
