A character-driven saga where family bonds and rivalries shape the fate of a crumbling age. Charles Dupree never asked for destiny to come knocking, but fate had other plans. Once a stock market wizard content with sushi and sarcasm, he now finds himself as Charles Marcellus, the sharp-tongued second son of a noble family in the Free City of Mar’Vareen. Life in House Marcellus is anything but simple. Each family member brings their own ambitions and burdens to the table: Alessia, his calculating sister with an eye for power; Cassian, the dutiful heir struggling under their father’s shadow; Lyra, the optimistic youngest daughter yearning for freedom; and Felix, the mischievous little brother who idolizes Charles. Together, they form a web of support, conflict, and expectations that threatens to snap under the weight of the world’s shifting tides. With the Third Age on the brink of collapse, rebellious mages challenge centuries-old hierarchies, and political tensions simmer beneath the surface. Caught between noble tradition and arcane upheaval, Charles’s untested magic may be the key to his family’s survival—or its undoing. But when the moon aligns for the first time in centuries, marking him with a destiny he can’t ignore, Charles realizes the stars themselves may hold plans for him he isn’t ready to face.
