Iza Keter, the scion of a large criminal family, has recently obtained a divine artifact with which to practice his unique brand of magic. His status as a new mage gives him cover to attend the Royal Magic Academy, the prestigious magical school that he is sent to infiltrate.

A vast landscape stretches across the horizon, gods, demons, and monsters alike lurking in every corner of the globe. Threatened from all sides by conspiracy and danger, Iza must decipher his new powers quickly if he wants to survive.
