Primal Wizardry
Peter J. Lee
Kole always wanted to be a wizard, a dream that grew into an obsession when his parents disappeared on an adventure. The son of two powerful magical heritages, he was hailed as a prodigy at an early age — but a head start is of little use if you're tied to the starting gate. When his mother's illusory heritage manifested after he'd already embarked on the path to wizardry, he found he had only a singular powerful magical ability — to turn invisible. That heritage blocks higher wizardry, and for five years he struggles to overcome it. When his parents are declared legally dead he must choose: stay home and train as an illusory warrior like his mother, or seek answers at the center of all magical learning, the Academy of Illunia. Enrolled with an ensouled spellbook that holds more potential than he has yet unlocked, Kole must navigate academy mysteries — missing primal students, strange creatures on campus, dungeon-breach enemies from another realm — while unlocking his dual heritage.
