Aiden is the Prophecy. The Lightbearer. The golden child who hit Level 10 before he could grow a beard. Cassian is his brother. The battery. At nineteen, Cassian has spent his life placing third. Third in the Academy. Third in his father’s eyes. Third in a kingdom that only has room for one savior. He was prepared to fade into the background—until the System found him at the bottom of a whiskey glass and confirmed his worst fear. [CLASS ASSIGNED: CONDUIT] [ROLE: SUPPORT] The world wants a bridge. A human mana-pot. A loyal shadow to keep the Lightbearer’s tank full. But Cassian is done giving. When the System offers him a choice to subvert his destiny, he takes it—consequences be damned. A bridge goes both ways. It’s time to see what happens when the battery starts eating the machine.
