Spencer Dales was born into a world of magic. His father belongs to the Aegis, a secret society of black magicians tasked with bettering the lives of others—with higher potential—but never themselves. Now it’s time for Spencer to follow in his father’s footsteps, but all he sees is a broken system in need of someone with the wand and the will to change it. But who will stand beside him in this fight for a better future? KHARY RANDOLPH and BRANDON THOMAS ignite a generational war in this action-fantasy series, made entirely by creators of color, and committed to one truth above all others—Excellence is Real.

Best series I've read as of late. Wasn't sure what to expect as far as character development and plot, but I was almost immediately sucked in. I need volume 2!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellen-t
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2020

A stunning start to Spencer Dales' story, with an interesting cast of characters caught up in the power struggles of the magical world.
This volume establishes Spencer's relationship with his family and others closest to him and as it unfolds we learn alongside him that not everything and everyone is black and white. As he tries to control his often overwhelming rage I was rooting for him to survive.
There's so much packed in and for a story that jumps between past, present and future it was easy to follow.
I would love to give this five stars but it was completely missing any explanation as to why women aren't allowed to use magic.
While it's just one layer of what promises to be a deep story it felt cheap. Fantasy is a genre steeped in misogeny and it was disappointing to have it slap-bang on the first page. However, there are some wonderful women characters who are clearly fighting (subtly) against this that I'm hoping it will be elaborated on in future volumes.
I'm also really looking forward to more lightning charged magic battles and tense family dynamics. Bring on volume 2!
