In 2041, there once was Roma Knurov—a school graduate with a hidden metagift. Or maybe he’s a mage. And everything was going well for him until they killed his parents. Roma became homeless and outcast, with one desire—to take revenge on his parents’ killers. To find the one who brought him grief—and punish them as well. Roma isn’t alone—an android UR, friends, a teacher, and his beloved girl are with him. Strange forces rage within Knurov, but will he learn to control them? Will he handle his resentments, ego, and pride? Will he get on the trail of a powerful enemy?
