Ascendant Arcana

In a world where magic flows like an invisible current, seventeen-year-old Kael awakens to extraordinary powers after raiders destroy his village. When ancient ruins respond to his touch, revealing forgotten knowledge of Aether—the source of all magic—Kael begins a journey to master his abilities at the legendary Aetheric Academy. As he ascends from novice to prodigy, dark forces take notice of his potential. With allies both loyal and mysterious, Kael must navigate complex magical hierarchies, uncover his mysterious heritage, and ultimately face the question: will his growing power save the realm or destroy it? In a world where magical aptitude determines one's fate, Kael's unprecedented connection to the Aether will challenge the very foundations of an ancient magical order.
