Core of Steel

Magic exists within us all. Not all of us have the mettle to mold it.

All his life, Jasper dreamed of being a manasmith. To take up the family business and exceed even his father's great heights. It was a good dream, one that promised comfort and prestige. A fate he'd gladly subject himself to.

But fate rarely follows the whims of mortals.

When an accident places his family in harm's way, Jasper does what he must, even if it means serving House Peregrin.

They've tasked him with one job—pass his exams and serve the lord's daughter at one of the most renowned schools in the world.

In six months, the academy opens its gates, and he has no choice but to be ready. Pass, and he'll gain three years of unparalleled resources, tutoring, and connections. Fail, and his family falls with him.

But soon, everyone will learn. Jasper's strength isn't borne of mana. It's borne of metal.

Eden Academy awaits.
