Rowan Vale has spent his entire life branded a "Null"—a person utterly devoid of magic in a world defined by it. Despite his exceptional understanding of arcane theory, every test confirms his zero potential, making his dream of attending the prestigious Vanguard Academy of Arcane Sciences an impossible fantasy. But when his rejection from Vanguard comes with an unprecedented option to appeal, Rowan sees a flicker of hope, a chance to challenge not just his own fate, but the very rules of magic itself. He knows the system is rigged against him, designed to keep those like him out, yet a deeper truth about magic's forgotten origins might just be the key to unlocking a power no one ever expected. Can a boy with no magic redefine what it means to wield it, or will the ancient order crush his audacious quest for understanding?
