Callum Hunt's first life ended when he turned twelve years old, being forced from his home, his father, and everything else he knew before. His new life began with Constantine Madden, the Enemy of Death itself, who promised to teach him magic out of "the good of his heart". After three years of studying with the famous makar, Call's world was shattered once again when he received a curse from his peer, Alex Strike, who was jealous of the favor that Constantine demonstrated towards Call. As a result, Call was doomed to remain alone inside of the empty halls of the Madden manor, made into a monster by his own magic as Alex seemingly vanished forever.However, nearly two years later, Alex emerges again as next in line for the throne of Magisteria, where he is revered as a great mage. Call is the only one who knows the evil that his former peer is willing to bend to, and thus is the only one able to stop him before chaos reigns in the kingdom. In order to stop Alex's takeover, Call must find trust in his two new friends, Aaron and Tamara, to break the curse and reveal Alex for what he truly is. The only problem? Getting to the capital before it's too late.
