“Webster defines a hero as a mythological or legendary hero of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability. That’s the first definition. There isn’t even an entry for super hero. Not yet. But even if there was one, it would probably be just as bad at informing one about exactly what makes a hero, about the bought lessons and brave daring which are requisites to be one of those individuals rare enough to know both the adoration and fear of the common man."

The outcast mage Nicholas Hughes has gone to ground, having fled Charm City with a target on his back and a knife at his throat. However, running away has also distanced him from his ultimate goal of restarting his beginning.

Nicholas Hughes has broken a rule. The rule. But that might be the least of his worries. Expulsion from a program for mystical anthropology and arcane semiotics is probably nothing compared to a premature and violent death. On the other hand, the only person who is offering to help is a stranger he just met, and David Cruz comes with his own set of complications: a curse of lineage that lurks in the blood.
