Paranoid Mage

Callum, the paranoid mage, has spent his whole life seeing things others don’t—monsters lurking in the shadows, magical creatures blending in with humans, and mages hiding in plain sight. Even after discovering his own portal magic, he wants nothing to do with their hidden world. The Guild of Arcane Regulation expects every new mage to swear loyalty, submit to training, and serve their cause. But Callum refuses to play by their rules. If they want him, they’ll have to track him down first.
