​In a world where the number of abilities you awaken at age eleven defines your destiny, Lucas is a nobody. Living in a remote village, he is seen as a carefree boy with no ambition. But while the Empire praises its "Geniuses," Lucas hides a truth that would make even the King tremble: He is a 6-Ability user. ​When the Second Strongest Villain, Baron Allistair, shatters the peace of the Golden Age, the draft begins. Lucas must step onto the battlefield, protecting his family from the shadows while pretending to be the weakest soldier in history. In the game of Gods and Kings, the one with the most to hide is the one who will change everything.
