In a world where magic has nearly disappeared, people believe the age of spells and enchanted creatures ended centuries ago. Kingdoms have forgotten the old legends, and ancient magical lands have turned into ruins. But hidden among ordinary people lives a young teenager named Mahershalalhashbaz, who discovers a mysterious glowing symbol on his hand after finding an ancient book buried beneath a forgotten temple. Soon he learns a shocking truth β he is the last person born with the power of true magic. As darkness begins to awaken across the land, dangerous enemies search for the ancient power hidden inside him. With loyal friends beside him and secrets from the past slowly unfolding, Mahershalalhashbaz must uncover the truth about his destiny. Because if the last keeper falls, magic itself will disappear forever.
