[This story is a slow(ish) burn. Please not that it takes a little while for the magic to be introduced properly.]
Ethan has spent most of his life away from his family. Sent to boarding school as a boy, his father has kept him at arm’s length his entire life. Lonely and angry, his hardship has him subconsciously longing for a different life. One with a different purpose, freedom, and friends.
Before he has the chance to finish school, Ethan is suddenly told to leave. He is going to accompany his father’s associate to New Orleans and beyond. A strange man who will be his guide into everything he does not know exists. Everything that lurks in the cracks of civilization.
Going forward, Ethan has to come to grips with a reality where the potential of his soul is Power. He may learn what he has the opportunity to become and why it has been kept secret from him his entire life.
