In a world ruled by magic, balance is not maintained by kings or armies—but by mages.
From towering cities to forgotten ruins, powerful spellcasters shape the fate of nations, each standing above ordinary humans like living weapons. Yet despite their overwhelming strength, magic itself remains incomplete, fragmented… and misunderstood.
Long ago, the gods abandoned the world after gifting humanity the foundations of magic, leaving mortals with a single task: to understand, master, and surpass it on their own.
Aelyra Vaelis, an eighteen-year-old mage with unwavering resolve, dreams of reaching the highest rank ever known—Paladin, a title reserved for those who stand at the very summit of magical power and authority.
Her journey is anything but solitary. Along the way, she encounters companions bound by ambition, secrets, and scars of their own. Together, they face ancient trials, hidden truths, and forces that even the gods once feared.
In a world where magic is both a blessing and a burden, Aelyra must prove that humanity does not need divine guidance…
to reach the heavens.
