A Knight With Nothing

Rank 993. No power. No Essence. No chance. Sianguis Academy runs on one simple rule: climb or be replaced. One thousand knights fight for rank, better food, better rooms, and better lives. The higher you climb, the easier it gets. The lower you fall, the closer you get to the door. Every living person is born with an Essence, a power granted to humanity to help it survive. Alicia Moore has nothing. In humanity’s last city, surrounded by the endless threat of the Deepwood, Alicia isn’t here merely to survive. She isn’t here to play the game the way everyone else plays it. She’s here to be a true knight. A Knight with Nothing is a progression fantasy where every rank is earned.
