Steel Rogue

Forbidden magic doesn’t come with instructions.

Magic is illegal unless you pay the empire’s price. Rick has other plans.

He practices secretly, hunting for every scrap of magic knowledge. But his secret doesn’t stay hidden for long...

His family is betrayed, his father executed. The life he knew is gone. While outwitting deadly enemies, Rick befriends some magic-wielding rogues. They have mysterious schemes of their own, but they’ll teach him how to cultivate his powers. What’s their price?

Grueling training. Brutal tests. Rising through their ranks. Achieving his tremendous magic potential takes dedication, but one vow drives him on.

The empire will pay. They took his home and his family. They turned his friends against him. His weapons are his incredible powers and an intense desire to get stronger. Is that enough? **
