MACUSA Auror Mai Train wakes up bound to a chair in a makeshift holding cell, hard-wired to a strange machine that disrupts her ability to call on her magic. Stranger still, her captor isn't a witch, wizard, or even a squib. He's an ordinary human: a soft-spoken, haunted-looking young man driven by a vendetta against the entire magical world. A campaign of revenge against a millennia-old power imbalance, a crusade that he intends to make Mai a part of.
