What do you call something with so much power that it could literally live above the clouds and walk over the mere mortals of the world? And what do you call those who live under the shadow of such power? These are questions that don’t plague the mind of the soldiers at the Arcane Knight’s Academy, for they are the absolute rulers of Bel'Qamar. In their mighty fortress among the clouds, young gods are trained from infancy to become the guardians of the world, protecting it against all threat, learning discipline and order, to use their divine powers in the service of peace. But as they grow up, all gods inevitably start to question their purpose, their place in the world and their destiny.
For if all gods are guardians, they too are prisoners of fate.
After all, if not for their powers, what makes them different from other humans? And other than the words, what is the difference between guardians and tyrants? But most importantly, in a world where some individuals can summon death and destruction at the tip of their fingers, how is it possible to maintain order?
Filled with philosophical thoughts, this is a journey not into the world, but into ourselves.
Tennen is a god born among humans. He doesn’t know the world, doesn’t know his powers and is at an age where these are only a few of the questions bombarding his mind. The transition from the blissful ignorance of childhood to the world of responsibilities and self-conscience may not be that different from one of isolation to a world of mighty powers after all.
And to complicate the matters, he will befriend some of the most rebellious members of the Arcane Knights’ Academy, in a journey of discovery about the world of the gods, the exigences of life, the acceptance of fate and of themselves.
Magic, mystery, philosophy, analogies. The Arcane Knights’ Academy invites you to participate in this journey, make discoveries with its characters and perhaps even find something about yourself as well. Behind the adventure and hidden secrets, this book seeks to provide not answers, but to raise questions that only you can answer.
