You find yourself accidentally spilling an entire mug of ale on the mayor’s enchanted robes - awkward, considering they were supposed to be fireproof. Magic isn’t what it used to be, and it sure isn’t forgiving your clumsiness.

Once, the power to wield magic coursed through every human, elf, and orran; now it’s a rare gift, dwindling with each generation. Among the six Great Families of Eorþe, only half of the newborns show signs of this power, and beyond them, the chances plummet dramatically.

Adding to the crisis, a string of mysterious deaths has left only two known men with the Affinity alive within these powerful clans: Cymhen Grym and Cyril Cenric. Unbeknownst to all but one, a third bearer hides in the shadows, avoiding the deadly politics and greed of the Families.

That third bearer is you.

The Great Families never let go of what they want for long, and soon a looming threat forces Cymhen’s hand. Your former mentor tracks you down, offering sanctuary under the Grym banner. In return, he asks for your help uncovering why the Affinity is fading from the world.

Are you ready to face the wounds your disappearance tore open five years ago? Will loyalty to the Great Families weigh too heavily on your true self? And most importantly, will you uncover the true Nature of Magic itself?

Beyond the quest for magic’s survival, this story explores the idea of found family, support, and acceptance. Expect moments that will make you laugh and others that might tug at your heartstrings (with hopefully more smiles than tears). Romance and intimate encounters abound, including some cheeky spanking, groping, and even unusual monster girl affection. And yes, there will be some unprotected hand-holding, because intimacy comes in many forms.

If you thought magic was just a fading legend, think again - it’s personal, political, and maybe a little bit messy.

Will you rise to the challenge and redefine what it means to wield magic in a world running dry?

Magic is fading, but your story is just beginning.
