The Grand Arcanum Academy of Magic

Elite students from every corner of the continent gather here, each a prodigy in flame, wind, ice, and arcane mastery, each driven by ambition, rivalry, and pride. Among them, Cormag Klein arrives—black-haired, dagger-wielding, and a rare user of blue flame magic. A former mercenary from the chaotic Ashen Isles, he carries a single purpose: fulfill the request of his adoptive grandfather, who raised him amid piracy and shadows, and see him graduate from the most prestigious magical academy in all of Aetheria. But the academy is no gentle school. Friendships will be tested, secrets will be revealed, and the prodigies of this generation will clash in ways that could shake Alba itself. For Cormag, surviving isn’t enough—he must learn to thrive among legends.
