Kael, a noble from the shattered kingdom of Vesper, wakes up in modern-day Earth—stripped of magic but armed with wit, ambition, and a relic that pulses with forgotten power. Trying to make sense of a world without spells, Kael must navigate crime, shadows, and the dangers of being a teenage outcast. But who cares about high school drama when you’re busy building an empire?
And, just so we’re clear, Kael’s got a secret: he knows you’re watching.
"Oh, you think I'm the hero here?" Kael says, glancing sideways. "Think again. Heroes don't survive long in my world." Because the shadows hold secrets, and Kael’s ready to rule them—one calculated move at a time.
