The Brothers of Nexus

After a devastating fire claims their home and their parents, Kael and Draven Vile are left with nothing but each other and the raw magic that lingers in their blood. Forced to survive on the streets of Embermire, the brothers scrape by on wit, courage, and unbreakable loyalty.

But when they learn about Nexus Academy—a legendary school where magic isn’t just taught but transformed—they see a chance to rewrite their fate. Nexus isn’t just a school for the gifted; it’s a towering spire of power and secrets, its heights shrouded in mist and its walls brimming with ancient magic. For two boys born into nothing, it’s a dream as distant as the stars.

Determined to gain entry, the brothers embark on an audacious plan to join the Academy, facing ruthless competitors, ancient magic, and a system built to keep people like them out. But as they fight their way toward the heights of Nexus, they’ll uncover truths about themselves—and the fire that destroyed their past—that could either unite them or tear them apart.
