In a world where magic is a divine birthright, Kaelen was born a Null—a broken circuit. Relegated to the subterranean depths of the elite Progenitor's Academy, he spends his days doing the grueling slab work, laying the conductive piping and ward-wiring for the aristocratic Houses who rule the realm. But when a ruthless noble’s attack leaves Kaelen bleeding out in the unmapped catacombs, his shattered internal circuits don't kill him. They make him the perfect vessel. A drop of Kaelen's blood awakens an ancient, biological supercomputer: The Sanguine Codex. Suddenly, Kaelen can see the exact magical "wiring" of every vampire lord, kinetic brute, and sensory architect in the Academy. He can pinpoint the fatal bottlenecks in their ancestral powers. Better yet, he can flawlessly steal them. Armed with the ultimate analytical system, Kaelen refuses to stay an invisible laborer. From the shadows of the slums, he begins patching the flawed abilities of desperate outcasts, binding them into a hidden, fiercely loyal network. Step by step, he orchestrates a silent, strategic rebellion right beneath the feet of the arrogant elites. The ruling Houses have the royal bloodlines. They sit on ancient thrones. But Kaelen has the blueprint to their destruction. Welcome to the Progenitor's Academy.
