A legendary archmage dies and awakens in a body that cannot cast spells.
Alkaios fell defending humanity from dark mages, struck down by a surprise assault at the height of his power. His consciousness survived, settling into Cillian, a youth whose flesh rejects every incantation. Centuries of arcane mastery become useless when the vessel cannot channel energy. Stripped of rank and reserves, the former supreme practitioner must navigate a world still crawling with supernatural threats while learning to wield influence without a single spell.
