After the world discovers buried books of magic alongside dragon remains, those born after "Discovery Day" are the only ones who can wield the dangerous powers within.

At the school, Fort must navigate complex friendships, uncover hidden motives, and confront memories of a vanished girl. As more attacks erupt, Fort faces the choice between mastering mystical forces and protecting the city that brought him to the front lines of magic.
