They called him a war hero. The savior of the Islands. The greatest weather mage the Islands ever knew. But once, he was a lonely, misfit youth with some impossible dreams. Esavas Daruvias wants two things in life - to become a weather mage and to marry the girl of his dreams. But, bookish and awkward, his magical power stunted since childhood, he's a failure at everything a highborn mage is supposed to be, and life as a scholar at the remote, secluded Tower is his only hope of refuge from a society where he doesn't belong. Then his father offers him the impossible, an arranged marriage to the beautiful Pirazina, the girl he's always loved - who barely knows he exists. To win her heart and admiration, Esavas takes desperate measures to become the mage and man he longs to be, determined to make his dreams a reality even at the risk of losing his power, his freedom, and his future.
