Ten years in the Wastes changes a person.
Cale Arcanus came back from them with no memory the Dominion of Vera could verify, a glamour that makes him forgettable in any crowd, and one reason to be here at all — his sister is enrolled at Arclight Academy, and he is not willing to be on a separate plane from her.
The plan was simple. Scholarship student. Unremarkable. Invisible.
The problem is that Cale is not unremarkable. He has four Expressions in a world where most people develop two. He pulls mana from the air itself in ways that should not be possible without a core system that does not exist in any textbook. And somewhere underneath the glamour and the careful ordinary life he is trying to build, the Ghost of the Wastes is still there — waiting for the moment when being unremarkable stops being an option.
That moment arrives faster than he planned.
Arclight Academy is not what it appears. The nobility circling his sister are not what they appear. And the Knight-Captain who vouched him into the school knows considerably more than he has said out loud to anyone.
