The world is changing.

The military has captured a Sorceror-one of the last descendants of Alukai's ancient magic-and through brutal experimentation, they've begun replicating his magical staff. Now, for the first time in history, humans with no magical blood can wield artificial magic as weapons.

War is no longer a question. It's an inevitability.

But there is one force they didn't account for.

Cassian, a former nobody, wears the Yellow Jacket-a living relic forged by the most powerful Sorceror who ever lived.

Alongside Kaia, the immortal Spirit Guide, and a dwindling alliance of rogue Sorcerors, Cassian must confront rising armies, fractured alliances, and a world tilting toward magical annihilation. As humanity races to arm itself with stolen power, the question becomes:

Who gets to wield magic-and who decides what it's worth?
