A cryptic dream, a forbidden summoning, and the day that will change their lives forever…
Cecero is a 16-year-old wizard in training who lives in the country of Grandome; The heart and soul of the mystic realm. He lives in a dorm with his best friend, Sheko (who is possessed by a demon), swooned over countless female admirers (who have a very hard time keeping their hands to themselves), and is the son and apprentice of the greatest sorceress in history! His is a life of security, privilege, and wizardry-induced mayhem.
Last night a woman appeared to Cecero in a dream and delivered a message to him; “Today’s the day she’ll give you your gift…You’ll finally prove to her that you’re ready.” When he awoke he knew today would be different. What he didn’t know was that after this horrifying day, his life and the lives of his loved ones would be forever changed, and an unthinkable chain of events would soon take place; Events that will challenge their abilities, warp their realities, and threaten everything they hold sacred.
