The Saga of the Nothing Mage

"There's nothing there." For young Declan, those words were nearly a death sentence. Without detectable mana, he can't study at the Pinnacle Towers or follow in his father's legendary footsteps. But when a terrible accident forces him to flee, Declan discovers the true nature of his mana — and that just because something can't be seen doesn't mean it isn't there, or that it isn't powerful.

Declan and his companions arrive at the floating city of Lethis — safely in neutral territory, where the mages can study and compete in the legendary Lethian Tournament. That is, until an unwelcome guest disrupts the competition and Declan is dragged beneath the dark waves into a world of mystery and fate. War has come to the denizens of Teralia, and the nothing mage is no exception.

In Winter, Storm, in Deep, and Dark, The many threads they’d see, But in their rage they overstepped, And then the Courts were three. Beware, oh love, the nothing mage, A vengeful man is he, So if you dare to draw his wrath, Then nothing ye shall be. The stars align, the planets shift, Their walls are split in twain. Behold, behold, the syzygy, Now we shall feast again.
