In a world where magic has grown stale and corrupted, a betrayed Archmage is reborn as a nameless village boy in the outer reaches of the crumbling Rhaegarian Empire. Once known as Alaric Verus — the Archmage of Ten Thousand Spells — he was struck down by the very disciples he trained.
Now reborn as **Kael Draven**, in a life of poverty and obscurity, he carries fractured memories of his former life and a soul scarred by betrayal.
But the world has changed.
The great empires have fallen into decay. The arcane arts are but a shadow of what they once were. Yet even in this broken age, power still whispers… and enemies still lurk in silence.
Armed with fragments of forbidden knowledge, Kael must rise again — this time in secret and master a new form of magic born from both logic and wrath. But as ancient forces stir and hidden eyes watch, he must decide:
> Will he walk the path of vengeance once more?
> Or forge a destiny greater than the one he lost?
