Kepler Eclipse Shadowflame has had his immense innate magical power suppressed from infancy by his noble family of spies. For eighteen years, the Shadowflames have kept Kepler's abilities hidden, seeking to protect him from those who would exploit his rare gift as a magical "bloomchild."

But when a mandatory magical aptitude test at the prestigious Arcane Legion Institute exposes Kepler's true nature, his life takes an unexpected turn. Suddenly, he finds himself enrolled at the institute, thrust into a world he never knew existed, and forced to confront the very thing his family sought to shield him from.

At the institute, Kepler must not only wrestle with his newfound abilities but also navigate friendships, romance, and the advances of a persistent mentor. But when Kepler foils the plans of the Magisterium too many times he reignites a long-standing war. To save his nation, he must harness his full potential and confront the Magisterium, risking everything in a bid to end the war for good. Yet not all is as it seems...
