INTRODUCING A BOLD NEW HERO - DAMIEN IKE.
Damien Ike is fortunate. As the son of the most powerful mage in the land, he should have a bright future ahead of him. But as Damien approaches adulthood, he can't help but worry that there is no sign of his magic developing. And yet to survive beyond a few days old with no magic is unthinkable - the High Commission of Mages does not allow it. There's no way his father, their leader, would have a son who is a Nullborn.
Then Damien stumbles upon a secret his mother has kept from everyone - even him - and everything changes. Could it be that the fortune his future promised is not all it's cracked up to be? As Damien's world is turned upside down, he must discover how to keep their secret safe and get to the heart of the lies on which their world is founded . . .
