Academy of Outcasts

All Oz Carnavon ever wanted was to become a master mage. But doing so requires the natural gifts or wealth needed to secure an appointment to one of the prestigious magical academies in the Core City at the center of the seven realms — and Oz had neither. Born without magical talent, he's been serving in the nightmarish elemental plane of fire, where life is cheap and escape is rare. When Oz fakes his death to escape his family's contract and sneaks into the Core, everything seems to be going according to plan — until he gets blamed for an assassination attempt on the fire realm's ambassador. Now a fugitive in a vast magical city, he must earn a place among the magical academies that have nothing but disdain for his kind. And the clock is ticking: the most dangerous wizard in the realm of fire is coming to track him down.

The thrilling sequel in this epic new saga from LARRY CORREIA, award-winning author of Monster Hunter International and Saga of the Forgotten Warrior. This progression fantasy epic features a D&D-inspired setting split by portals into elemental realms, slow-growth power progression, magic academies, and unforgettable characters!
