When Malachi Baker stumbles into an offer of apprenticeship from the esteemed and powerful Occultist Orykson, he's left in shock and jumps at the chance to learn... Even if it means taking out a few loans.

Unfortunately, his new teacher sees him more as a tool than a student. He has set Malachi near-impossible goals before he becomes worthy of Orykson's full attention, and Malachi's innate power is only somewhat above average.

Worse, it turns out that Orykson has enemies more powerful than Malachi had ever imagined—and now their attention has landed solidly on him.

Torn between the mage who can offer him everything, and a strange old woman who offers him the chance to guide his own path, Malachi is left scrambling to find his purpose as a new mage.

You can expect slow-burn to power, slice-of-life, and queer content.

the world building was good and well written and thought out for the most part. there were a few points where it felt slightly off but they were minor. Would suggest others to read, it was written well enough to be entertaining to all ages. At times the story felt like it was rail roaded and a little simple. As an older reader I look more for more mature books, and this story felt like it was targeted at young adults. Ultimately 9.5/10 would read more.

What a fantastic listen! The narrator did such a great job at bringing this to life. This was my first book by Tobias and I will definitely be checking out their other series. The magic system used is unique along with the many characters that are introduced. I'm excited to see where this story goes and to learn more about the history of the world and the backgrounds of some of the other people.

Loved This So Much!

Really well done, and has the best handled trans MC I have encountered in the progression fantasy genre (maybe the only actual *main* character now that I think about it)

great book

Tobias Begley has done it again! They've written a great story I would have maimed for (if not outright killed for) growing up. They have expertly woven another fun, queer story in a rich, magical world that I want to see more of in the future. The characters are fantastic, the magic is fun and intuitive, the story is cute. Like their other books, this ticks every box I look for in a story and more.

Wonderful queer story

This book is a slow-burn to power, magic progression, with slice of life and queer content. It is written fantastically. The voice actor is great and fits the character well, and the representation is solid, yet not overbearing. It's a unique magic system, and reminds me of the Minecraft Mod Botania, very cool.

Exactly as described,
