Flawed techniques are perfected. Ancient secrets hidden in plain sight are laid bare. And the Academy's carefully censored curriculum? It has been hiding something that could shatter the entire Path of Light.With twenty-four hours to recruit a student or lose everything, Kael discovers his first prospect—a girl all other tutors rejected—may hold the key to a power the Academy tried to erase.A progression fantasy for readers who love clever protagonists, deep worldbuilding, and academy settings with hidden depths.Updates three times weekly.
