Auron was born into a family with forbidden magic.

After leaving his hometown for a more promising opportunity in the magic capital of Azmere, he hides the truth: his illegal time-bending ability. Auron must survive while carrying a spell the world fears in a city where heritage defines worth.
Then he meets Ruri, a proud Dragonkin girl with unmatched talent. Emil, a brilliant student whose kindness masks hidden pain. And Aeter, enigmatic and unspoken, who may know more about Auron than she lets on.

Together, they face trials, secrets, and forbidden truths. But when Auron’s magic threatens them all, the people closest to him must choose: will they run, or stand beside?
