In the past, humans have tried to kill all of them till extinction, and after years of massacre almost any mage have been left alive. Today, in an important position, and with the prestige of the most influential man of all kingdoms, Cassian is feared and hated by everyone who is not close to him, making people question the king's decision to keep him alive and by his side all this years. The King's Shadow... a name that to the others was frightening. To him... it was his curse.
