About the book: year / This is a story about a boy who has been looking for his place in the sun all his life. Melchior was able to find this place; all that remained was to prove that he was worthy to be called a Magician and a citizen of the Empire. Behind him is a junior assistant adviser to the Academy of Magic and Martial Arts, the position of an overseer, a prison and a first love that is fraught with danger. Ahead are answers to questions that will need to be earned, learning about yourself and the world. The wings of an elemental magician will be replaced by the neck of a dragon, and simple spells - the ability to communicate with people and more.
