After his parents died, Alex Roth had one desire: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the University of Generasi, the world’s greatest academy of wizardry.
Fate had other plans.
On his eighteenth birthday, Alex is Marked by prophecy as one of his kingdom’s five Heroes, chosen to fight the Ravener, his land’s great enemy. But his brand is 'The Fool’.
Worst of the marks.
Rather than die or serve other Heroes like past Fools, he takes a stand, rejects divine decree…and leaves. With his little sister, his childhood friend, and her cerberus, Alex flees for the university, hoping to research the mystery of the Ravener. He’ll make lifelong friends, learn magic from mad wizards, practice alchemy, fight mana vampires, and try to pay tuition.
There’s one small problem. The Mark insists on preventing the Fool from learning and casting spells, while enhancing skills outside of divinity, combat, and spellcraft…
…that is, unless he learns to exploit the hell out of it.
Explore a coming-of-age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building, and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.
J.M. Clarke is a Canadian author that watched way too much Godzilla as a kid. He has worked with children and families over his career, volunteered in hospice, and failed to learn how to play the bass three times.
Having written stories for twenty years, he started sharing them online during the pandemic and—next thing he knew—he was a bestseller on Amazon. He is still half-convinced this is all a dream.
He is best known for his Mark of the Fool and Rune Seeker series (cowritten with Carter J. Thompson), and has had short stories published as well.
Seriously, this has to be a dream, right?
