Meyano Ledger, 25, is a fast‑tongued, party‑loving bartender at Opal City’s hottest club, The Poison Kiss. Abandoned as a baby in Emerald City’s District 13—the supernatural district—and raised in a harsh foster system, he grew up bullied, unwanted, and determined never to rely on anyone. He made it to college, hoping for a fresh start, but dropped out when his unstable, unexplained magic became impossible to hide.
He can move objects with his mind.
Slip into people’s thoughts.
Hurt without touching.
He’s always known he wasn’t normal.
He just never knew he was a warlock.
One night after work, Meyano witnesses Sebastian Grace, a lethal agent of the Magic Order, kill a man without laying a hand on him. Sebastian reveals the truth: the victim was a corrupted warlock serving Ravus Blood, a powerful renegade who wants to take over the Magic Order so he can gain unrestricted access to the realms — and ultimately reach the Devourer, a fallen angel bound by God in the Infernal Realm. The Devourer already holds the Orb of Souls and grows stronger with every soul consumed.
The Magic Order is losing ground.
Ravus is rising.
And Meyano’s raw, natural power could help stop him.
Meyano agrees to train with Sebastian, and the two form a volatile, magnetic partnership neither expected. As they gather allies and race to stop Ravus from reaching the Devourer, Meyano must learn to control his magic, confront the wounds of his past, and decide who he wants to be — not because prophecy demands it, but because he chooses it.
And through it all, the tension between him and Sebastian threatens to ignite.
