After finally shattering his shackles and freeing himself from a life of servitude under the cruel Galvan family, Cypher, a young boy of only twelve, discovered that he possessed the power of the Null element and quickly found himself attending the most prestigious school of Magick in all of Dellorim: Guardian Hall Academy.

After his lifelong struggles in the Galvan mansion, he thought that things were finally starting to go his way. However, he soon finds that while his elemental affinity is a gift in many ways, it is also a curse that carries dangerous potential. As he settles into his new life, a lingering threat from his time with the Galvan family makes itself known, and an ancient cult from the earliest days of creation returns to cause chaos once more.
