Description

Everyone at Aethelgard Academy thinks Asher Vance is a joke, but he's secretly the most powerful student there. Known for his uncanny ability to fall asleep anywhere, anytime, he's the last person you'd expect to have immense, world-altering power. While you and your peers strive for excellence, Asher drifts through his classes, his grades just barely above failing. Most whisper he got in by a fluke. But you're starting to see things no one else does: the flicker of unnerving calm in his eyes during a crisis, the way disasters seem to narrowly avoid him, the sheer intensity lurking beneath his sleepy facade. The truth is, Asher's lethargy is a self-imposed prison. His Aether abilities are so catastrophic that keeping them sealed requires all his energy, leaving him in a perpetual state of exhaustion. Only the academy's enigmatic Director knows his secret, and now, you're on the verge of discovering it too.
