Shieldwall Academy

Pax is a cunning street rat without a class, surviving in a city constantly threatened by monstrous beast waves. When his best friend is captured, he risks everything — and ends up caught and thrust into the Astan Empire's elite mage academy. While struggling to harness the forbidden magic surging within him, Pax must avoid the attention of corrupt leaders determined to snuff out rebellion and maintain their iron grip on power.

In a city on the brink of destruction, Pax scrambles to develop powerful forbidden magic before his enemies can catch and ruin him. The corrupt leaders of the Astan Empire will stop at nothing to extinguish any hint of rebellion. As a monstrous beast capable of shattering the city's defenses looms on the horizon, Pax races to strengthen his crew and navigate new alliances. Can he unlock the secrets of light magic and gather enough people to his cause before the empire crushes him?

Pax leads his crew into the heart of the Northern Purge — a wilderness expedition teeming with monsters and political adversaries — developing forbidden elemental powers in a race against their enemies. A frantic search unearths the ancient light mage headquarters, a trove full of treasures and dangers. With enemies close behind, Pax and his team must solve intricate puzzles, enlist allies, and confront guardians to claim the secrets they need to survive. Can they gain power fast enough before the faltering empire — or the revolution within it — decides their fate?

In a world exploding in civil war, Pax and his friends pose as empire loyalists while secretly supporting the rebellion — collecting crucial intelligence and perfecting their formidable taming magic. But their deception is a precarious tightrope walk. When their cover is blown, Pax and his crew must escape to rebel headquarters in a race between the growing strength of their magic and the empire's ruthless strike teams. Can Pax's power turn the tide before the empire snuffs out the rebellion?
