Born into the legendary Aetherlith bloodline, Leland Aetherlith is the second son of the Duke of Icehelm, a family renowned for their mastery over fire and crystal-based magic. But unlike his kin, Leland is not attuned to flames. Marked instead as a Pillar, his gift lies in lightning, a volatile, untamed power that flows through him like living energy.
In a world where nobles prioritize knowledge, strategy, and magical skill, Leland must forge his own path. Sent to a prestigious academy in a warmer, bustling city, he is thrust into a world of scholars, ambitious peers, and creatures of elemental power. Quick-witted and exceptionally intelligent, Leland begins to harness his unique abilities, learning to connect with magical companions and channel his lightning into both combat and strategy.
As he grows, Leland faces the pressures of nobility, the weight of his family's expectations, and the mysteries of the magical world around him. By the end of Book 1, he will have formed a bond with a loyal companion, tested the limits of his lightning powers, and taken the first steps toward shaping his own legacy, one that could rival even the fire-wielding masters of his family.
