Command fire. Summon storms. Bend life and death to your will. Sorcerers are feared for their power to twist fate itself, but in a world where magic is survival, power always comes at a price. Ronan Damien, young, ambitious, and the son of a minor count, seemed destined for greatness when he was accepted into the prestigious Hoddam Magic Academy. With noble blood and a spark of magical talent, his future looked bright. But fate had other plans. Unable to keep up with the cutthroat competition, Ronan’s dreams withered as he remained a mere Level 1 apprentice. His story met a tragic, untimely end. Until it didn’t. When Ronan Damien dies, his body is taken over by a new soul—another Ronan from a different world, armed with the knowledge of both worlds. No longer bound by the weaknesses of his predecessor, the new Ronan refuses to fail. The academy that once crushed him becomes his proving ground, and the forgotten apprentice begins his slow but unstoppable rise. But in Hoddam, magic is not just power—it’s survival. As dangerous rivals close in and ancient forces stir in the shadows, Ronan must navigate deadly politics, brutal competition, and a world teetering on the brink of chaos. His path to power is fraught with peril, and each choice brings him closer to greatness...or destruction. This time, failure isn’t an option. Ronan’s story is only just beginning, and the name he carves into history will be remembered forever.
