Summary

In the bustling chaos of New York City, fifteen-year-old Conor seems to have missed the magical train. While other young mages have long awakened their powers, he’s left only with the peculiar ability to change the color of his pen. Feeling lost and alone in a world that demands extraordinary gifts, he resigns himself to a mundane life at a regular school—until he meets Greg, an adventurous human with a passion for magic that ignites a flicker of hope within him. When an ancient magical artifact reveals a curse binding Conor's powers, the duo embarks on a daring adventure into the cursed heart of the city. Rumors whisper of a sinister black mage, Jaros, who holds both the keys to power and the chance for liberation. But the path is fraught with peril: savage beasts, cursed monsters, and the looming threat of dark sorcery await them. Determined to break the chains that bind him, Conor's journey leads to a fateful encounter in the celebrated haunted mansion of Jaros, where the echoes of a forgotten past awaken within him. In the clutches of danger, he discovers a legacy that ties him to the very essence of magic itself and uncovers a truth: he is not just an ordinary mage... With power sealed, and a past shrouded in mystery, and friendships forged in fire and the stakes of magic rippling through their every choice, Conor and Greg must confront the dark remnants of Jaros’ curse, a thrilling magical tournament, and the looming shadow of an ancient evil. Will Conor unlock the formidable magic within and reclaim his identity before the darkness consumes them all?
