"In a world of magic, Zio is learning how to breathe."
While mana flows through everyone else, Zio was born with his mana sealed. No spells. No talent. Only a body forced to endure what others command.
When the seal finally cracks, it does not grant him power. It awakens pain.
Torn from the blacksmith’s forge and cast into a remote frontier, he faces a choice:
Break beneath the force raging inside him, or survive long enough to bend it to his will.
This is not the story of a hero.
It is the story of a quiet boy trying to find his place in a world that will not let him stay hidden.
