In Lacurna, the most powerful city in the civilised world, magic is completely useless. Or at least, that's what everyone thinks. Including Alix, who didn't want to take the class at all. All he wanted was to become a scholar and take part in the scientific enlightenment rocking the country. But it couldn't be easy. When a group of underground mages mistakenly capture him, they introduce him to the uglier side of pretty Lacurna, where magecraft is a powerful tool locked in a chokehold by the Crown to keep the population under their control. These criminals offer Alix knowledge, and to a mage, knowledge is all the power in the world. Because Alix will need all the power—and allies—he can get to survive the storm threatening to topple the city. Mage Mage is a historical-based, urban-esque progression fantasy with undercover mage schools, court/gang politics and general stealthy-spellcraft shenanigans. Instead of our heroes adventuring across the lands, we explore the depths of a sprawling metropolis in a more noir style. Expect a more gritty, magical-realism tone. Update schedule: haven't decided yet, but my hefty backlog should keep us afloat.
