Magicless noble raised by Merlin returns to shield the family that abandoned him.
Merlin rescues a newborn noble left to die in the wilderness because he possesses no magical spark. In secrecy the legendary mage trains the boy in a discipline that circumvents every known law of spellcraft, forging strength from pure will. As a young man the heir reappears at the ancestral gates just as disaster threatens his bloodline. He does not come seeking pardon or belonging; he stands between his kin and ruin, wielding a force no academy has ever recorded.
