Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate.

The stone meant to reveal his gift shatters beneath his touch. The officials stare in silent horror. This isn’t power. This is something else. Something that should not exist.

And every trace of them has been erased. Forced into exile, pursued by bounty hunters and scholars alike, Raine must unravel the truth of his power before the Arcanum does it for him. Because whatever he touched in that chamber did more than reject him. It saw him. And it is waiting.
