As war in the north comes to an end, Almark, the son of mercenaries, finds himself at a crossroads. When he was a child, a foreigner told him that he had the potential to wield magic. Now he sets out to fulfill his father's wish for him to go to the peaceful land of the south to become a sorcerer. After a long journey to the institute of magic, he discovers that life there is entirely different from how he has lived so far. The people in the south view the warlike northerners as savage barbarians. And at the institute there is an invisible divide between the nobility and commoners. While hiding his mercenary lineage and with help from his friends, Almark takes steps toward becoming a true sorcerer. And he might just make some changes to the institute in the process!

And so, despite Almark's efforts on and off the battlefield, he eventually sets out for the academy to respect his father's wishes. But what lies ahead on his journey to becoming a magician?
