Sealbreaker - The Light We Borrowed

In a kingdom built on light, technology, and centuries of peace, Victor Blackwood has always felt the weight of being born human. Unable to wield magic like the other races around him, he has devoted his life to mastering mana-stone technology, building inventions no one else can imagine. With his future riding on entry into the famed Everlight Grand Academy, Victor believes his greatest challenge lies ahead in the city of scholars and crystal towers. But as quiet changes begin to ripple through the Blackwood Estate, the peaceful world Victor has always known starts to feel as though it is hiding something ancient beneath its shining surface.
