Summary
In Cleadia, a militarised nation where mages are raised from childhood to serve as weapons of war, Cassius stands among the elite. A master of water magic, he’s spent years on the front lines—until a sudden reassignment pulls him back to the capital.
Tasked with mentoring a newly graduated mage from the Institute, Cassius finds himself caught between his duty and his humanity when he’s charged with leading a strike team to dismantle a growing rebellion.
As tensions rise and political fault lines shift, Cassius must navigate the expectations placed on him by the state, his peers, and his own conscience. His twin brother Darian remains his one constant—steadfast and grounding in a world that demands obedience over connection.
Meanwhile, someone high within the government has taken a disturbing interest in Cassius—not just as a weapon, but as something far more personal.
