Discarded in infancy for displaying zero magical potential, Orion survives in the brutal wilderness, secretly forging godlike abilities outside orthodox spellcasting. When he returns fifteen years later, haughty academy mages laugh him off as an embarrassment to his biological father, the Sanctum Lord. Their mockery turns to sheer panic when a cataclysmic undead horde breaches the capital and slaughter breaks out across the sanctum.
Stepping past trembling archmages, Orion unleashes primordial spells, disintegrating the undead dragon and rewriting temporal reality to save his fallen kin. Yet the corrupt High Temple schemes to sacrifice him to appease dark gods, arresting his loved ones under fabricated heresies. Bearing a glowing Arcane Heart in his chest, Orion marches against the holy sanctum to reclaim his family by force.
