    Summary

    Bren is a weapon of the Empire, a mage in a class all his own, and the pride of his teacher. He's given his whole life to its service, questioning nothing. A slight mistakes leads him to discover exactly how much of what he's been told is a lie, and the rage in his chest is compressed to a spark, a mere flicker, giving him the time he needs to burn the Empire to the ground. He knows he can't do it alone, so he becomes Caleb, an unimpressive wanderer, taking his time finding weaknesses and holes in the Empire's foundation. These two worlds aren't easy to keep separate, and before long, he can feel pieces of himself bleeding through. He can't stop though, not until the Empire lays in ashes at his feet.
