The Lost Wizards [Adventure-Fantasy Romance/Harem]

Marcus was born a Lifestealer—pure power without a mana pool of his own, forced to rip it from everything around him. On the continent, men like him are locked in windowless dungeons… or burned. When his gift finally erupts and the Imperial Academy comes to claim him, his war-scarred father does the unthinkable: slits the magister’s throat, grabs his only son, and runs. Fifteen years later, Marcus the boy is gone. In his place stands Felix the Fox—hardened midshipman on a pirate-hunter, drawing strength from the waves themselves and selling his power in blood. Until a storm tears his ship apart and throws him onto an island that should not exist. Here the magic is centuries beyond the mainland. Water that heals. Air that hides entire fleets. A glittering society of wizards that has stayed invisible for generations. Drawn into the deadly politics of their great houses, Felix soon begins to see the truth: everything he was taught about magic—and about himself—was a lie. To build a new future, and protect the island princess he’s falling for, he must stop running from the inferno locked inside him. He must learn from this island of lost wizards… and finally learn to wield it, before it consumes them all. ___ A high-stakes fantasy with an intricate magic system, political intrigue, deadly battles, and a slow-burn romance with a small harem of complicated women. Expect one main male POV, with the occasional POV from the female love interests. Perfect for fans of overpowered underdogs, elemental cultivation, and found-family adventure and romance. All steamy scenes will be posted here within the guidelines.
