Vision of the Absolute
If a child is born with a godlike command of magic, they are no longer human.
Caspian Dawson has the innate ability to see the metaphysical forces behind magic and understands the craft like no one else, which is both a blessing and a curse.
A blessing, because Caspian is the most powerful magician on Earth.
A curse, because his power has isolated him from humanity since he was a child.
In a world where magic is an arcane science, the remnant of the Kingdom of Britannia struggles to maintain its place on the global stage. And if that wasn't enough, the squabbling noble houses with high magical capacity threaten to tear the nation apart from within. Now, with the kingdom embroiled in a global cold war, graduate student Caspian Dawson is finally ready to flex his wings and show the world what he can do, all while concealing his true identity from the most powerful sorceress in the kingdom: his lover and classmate, Jessamine.
This story is slow-burn, character-focused magic realism, with intense and gory action scenes and mature topics, but no explicit R18 content. Instead, maturity is leveraged to increase the drama of character interactions. It's not for everyone, but if you're a fan of dark, revenge, twisted power fantasies, this might be for you.
