Vision of the Absolute

If a child is born with a godlike command of magic, they are no longer human.

Caspian Dawson has the innate ability to see the metaphysical forces behind magic and understands the craft like no one else, which is both a blessing and a curse.

A blessing, because Caspian is the most powerful magician on Earth.

A curse, because his power has isolated him from humanity since he was a child.

In a world where magic is an arcane science, the remnant of the Kingdom of Britannia struggles to maintain its place on the global stage. And if that wasn't enough, the squabbling noble houses with high magical capacity threaten to tear the nation apart from within. Now, with the kingdom embroiled in a global cold war, graduate student Caspian Dawson is finally ready to flex his wings and show the world what he can do.

Slow-burn, character-focused magic realism.
