Leaving his home with his older sister at his side, Drake Greymoor begins his first day at Ivoria Academy. For a hundred years, humanity has suffered an assault from a race of mysterious beings known as the Dei.

The students of Ivoria, known as the Half-Souled or Soulless, are capable of utilizing the powers of various deities, which they wield in battle against the Dei, hoping to protect the world that has long been their home.

But Drake is unlike his fellow hopefuls in many ways, both in personality and in power. Will he emerge from Ivoria as the hero they desperately need to end a seemingly never-ending war? Or will he forsake his fellow humans in order to increase his own power?
