Hair of Forbidden Magic

In a world ruled by magic, your blood determines your worth—and if you’re born without it, you’re nothing. Ezren is a Null—a slum-born orphan with no elemental affinity, no noble bloodline, and no right to even touch a spell. In the ash-choked ruins of Lower Virelyn, Nulls like him are hunted for simply surviving. But when Ezren discovers a relic that shouldn’t respond to anyone—let alone someone like him—everything changes. Now armed with forbidden power and a mind sharp enough to shatter the rules, Ezren begins his climb into a world of aristocrats, arcane politics, and magic-fueled betrayal. Nobles want to erase him. Magisters want to study him. And ancient forces want to claim what stirs inside him. He won’t beg. He won’t kneel. He’ll rise—with silence, with strategy, and with a power the world was never meant to see. Because survival is just the beginning.
