The Shadow of Aether
In a hidden magical world beneath London, Caelan Varyn, a brilliant but emotionally distant mage, seeks to unlock the true potential of magic, free from the constraints of light and dark. Unbeknownst to him, he is the product of a twisted experiment by Aldric Elros, an ancient elf who now controls Winstor Academy. As Caelan challenges the rigid government control over magic, Elros discovers his creation is still alive—and vows to destroy him. With political intrigue, deadly duels, and dangerous magic at every turn, Caelan must fight to free magic from the shadows.
