Every child in Aetheria awakens a Gift at ten, but for Ethan Vale, his Awakening Day brings only humiliation: his Gift is "LOCKED." Shunned and ridiculed, he discovers a hidden system that grants him a unique, terrifying power – the ability to echo any skill he observes. His father, a former soldier, warns him to hide this dangerous secret, for people have killed for less. But when the Royal Academy, a place for the most powerful Gifted, inexplicably summons him, Ethan is thrust into a world of fire-wielding rivals and flying mages, all while a mysterious girl with a dragon watches his every move. Can Ethan master his forbidden power without revealing the truth, or will his secret awaken something far more ancient and deadly within the Academy walls?
