For centuries, the Arcane Heir has been a myth—a legend whispered among scholars and sorcerers. A child born once in an age, destined to wield magic that could either reshape the world or bring about its ruin.
Seventeen-year-old Alaric Vale has spent his life as an outcast in the slums of Eldoria, unaware that he is the last surviving heir of an ancient bloodline. When a group of rogue mages ambush him in the dead of night, claiming that his magic has awakened, his world is shattered. He barely escapes with the help of Lady Sylvaine, a mysterious woman who insists he must reclaim his birthright before a dark prophecy is fulfilled.
Forced into the treacherous halls of Valderis Academy, where noble-born sorcerers study the arcane arts, Alaric finds himself surrounded by enemies. The highborn mages see him as a threat, the professors test his every move, and an enigmatic student named Darian Voss watches him too closely for comfort. But the real danger lies beyond the academy's walls—an ancient cult, the Children of Ruin, believe Alaric is the key to unsealing the Abyss of the Forgotten, a prison holding the first and most dangerous sorcerer in history.
As Alaric unlocks the secrets of his past, he begins to question the truth behind his lineage. Was the Arcane Heir meant to be a savior… or was he created to bring destruction? When visions of a burning world haunt his dreams, he realizes one terrifying truth: the power inside him is awakening, and it may not belong to him alone.
The lines between hero and villain blur as Alaric must decide—will he control his magic, or will it control him? And in a world where deception runs deep, who can he truly trust?
Read on, and uncover the legacy of the Arcane Heir.
