It started when Rick was a kid.

Verve gained: Courage [Level: 1]

[The ability to bestow bravery upon yourself and those around you. Range and strength of effect dependent upon level.]

Now he's a teenager with unauthorised magic, an underdeveloped fear complex, and an overdeveloped sense of fashion.

The empire is hunting him. He has one only spell, and no idea how to level it.

Could it get worse?

Hell yeah.

The only people he can trust are rogues, a bunch of lockpickers and safecrackers who'd sell their own Grandma for the right price.

But at least he can't call his life boring.

[Book 1 is already written, so you can begin reading safe in the knowledge it will not be abandoned.]
