Introduction: My name is Jeremiah. My family are farmers on land that doesn't belong to us. There is never enough to eat. Working all day is necessary, but it doesn't change anything, and if Land Baron Waltin wants to, he can take it all away. Leaving us to become indentured servants or slaves. The boar's head tattooed into my arm shows others that this life is all my family deserves. I don't agree. Somehow, I'm going to change it.In a land where your caste is tattooed on your arm, it's hard to become more than you were born to be. Eleven-year-old Jeremiah can't hide the fact that he's a peasant farmer, but he doesn't want to be a farmer. There's only a sliver of a chance of changing the future. Over a hundred years ago, a pact was created to stop a war. The islanders were promised yearly competitions that would give youth aged 10-16 the chance to raise their family's status, but the system has never allowed anyone to succeed.Winning could mean he loses everything.The massive school is mostly off-limits to students. Jeremiah starts exploring at the first opportunity. Hidden passageways hold dangerous creatures, both living and dead. The library takes up a good portion of the school. It's filled with forgotten secrets and stories. Jeremiah wants to read them all. Everywhere there is magic, something he's been sheltered from for his whole life.PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: New material in Volume 2 on Tuesdays. Thanks for Reading....
