  The world is divided into three great regions, each with its own language: Averin, Kaelith, and Veyran. Each is spoken across roughly a third of the world, with kingdoms separated by borders, politics, and ancient rivalries.

Magic is divided into several categories. Every mage possesses at least one Elemental Affinity, while most develop one or two Non-Elemental Arts. The strongest may possess three or four abilities, sometimes alongside a Rare Power that exists beyond ordinary classifications. Above these is Bloodline Magic—ancient abilities inherited through powerful or royal bloodlines.

The most gifted students from every kingdom eventually gather at the prestigious magic academy. Among them is a new royal freshman, stepping into a world where reputation, bloodline, and magical ability can determine everything.*
