ANYONE CAN USE MAGIC – IF THEY CAN AFFORD THE PRICE . . .
In a world where everything magical is bought up and controlled by the super rich – Stephen Oakwood has inherited a natural talent for magic. Plunged by his father’s disappearance into a glittering world of scheming dynasties, warring patriarchs and vicious scions, Stephen must navigate magical high society and learn to control his gifts.
Dangerous enemies await the Oakwood heir, and even more dangerous allies: if Stephen cannot master his magic quickly and learn to distinguish friend from foe, his name may end up on the missing persons list, just like his father.
