In the Kingdom of Ferris, Mages are not born but made. Through might of magic and arms, Ferris has grown to become the most powerful nation in the known world. In this kingdom, a young boy named Vayne was selected as a child and trained to become an advisor to a noble family. His life was set, he would live and likely die as a glorified servant for those who would use and replace him with little remorse or concern. However, when a vision reveals that Vayne is destined to become an incredibly powerful mage, only to die before 30 in service to his country, he finds himself at a crossroads. Will he follow this path and die in servitude? Will he see his life cut short battling foes for another? Or will he forge himself into the greatest mage the world has ever seen?  Feel free to leave any comments, criticism, reviews and so on and I'll do my best to address them. This is my first foray into writing, and I want to use any feedback I get to grow and improve as a writer.  Xianxia-inspired progression fantasy novel, where the primary focus is on watching the MC grow and develop as a person and mage. As a note, it will be a slow process, not an insta-expert situation.  Release schedule is MWF Thanks, and hope you enjoy! NOTE: The Amazon story titled: Ascendency of the Magus is a direct 1-to-1 copy (ie stolen) from me.
