Malcolm Reed, 44, is a Black American man who spent his first life working hard, taking care of other people, and continually postponing his own dreams. After dying unexpectedly, Malcolm awakens in Eldara, a world where magic is as ordinary as electricity was on Earth. But something went wrong with his reincarnation. Most people possess one elemental affinity. Malcolm possesses all of them. Even stranger, his soul carries a mysterious ability called Sovereign Arcana, allowing him to understand, combine, and eventually invent magic. He decides that if he’s really been given another life, he won’t waste it. His first goal is simple: Become an adventurer. Unfortunately, gods, kingdoms, monsters, ancient dragons—and several extremely dangerous women—have other plans.
