In a world where magic is marked at birth, Kael Arlen has nothing. No crest. No power. No future. Or so everyone believes. Abandoned at Grimthorne Home for Wayward Youth, Kael's life is a cycle of whispers and locked doors-until a mysterious woman arrives and summons him to Hollowlight, a floating academy where crests aren't just symbols of power-they're destiny. But when the academy's legendary Crestglobe refuses to mark him, something far older awakens instead.
Strange whispers call his name. Reality glitches. And Kael begins manifesting magic that shouldn't exist-magic that terrifies even the professors. Now, with new friends-Mira, Rixa, and Soren-Kael must navigate dangerous trials, a prophecy buried beneath the school, and a forgotten force known only as Rava. Some say Rava is a curse. Others say it's the key to unraveling the world. Kael just knows one thing:If he can't control what's inside him, Hollowlight will burn.
