The ultimate one of Gaia

In the floating world of Gaia, where magic obeys logic and every spell demands a price, Deton Martin—an abrasive, self-taught mage raised on forbidden cult lore—wants only solitude and study. But after a chaotic conflict forces him to reveal the potential of his magecraft, his name explodes across the arcane underground, drawing the eyes of the faculty of Varncrest Institute: the most prestigious—and perilous—academy of magic in the skies. Dragged into a brutal world of magical duels, sentient relics, and elite bloodline politics, Deton is anything but compliant. As rival factions circle and hidden powers stir, Deton must walk the fine line between survival and silence, knowing that Varncrest is only the beginning—and Gaia itself may yet tremble under the weight of his magecraft.
