In the land of Atoria, where war has been replaced by an annual tournament of magical and physical might, the four realms flourish in an age of unprecedented peace. At the center of this world is Gael, a headstrong yet uncertain youth with a singular goal: to gain entry into the prestigious Alabaster Academy, the only institution in the realms dedicated to training magi and magi-knights. Haunted by a shrouded past and driven by a burning desire to uncover the truth about his origins, Gael must rise from the harsh streets of Jesarin. But as he claws his way toward his dream, he discovers that the secrets of his lineage are tied to a far greater danger—one that threatens to shatter the fragile peace holding the realms together and thrust them into chaos once more. This is a personal project of mine in the works for the past 5 years, after hundreds of pages of notes and planning I believe I am ready to start finishing weekly chapters and finally put the story to page. That being said, I appreciate anyone who takes their time to read my story, and I hope you love the characters and world as much as I have grown to.
