Of Iron and Magnolia

Soren Vahl’s Quirk is iron. He can sense, move, and read two centuries of human touch from a single nail. He enrolls in both the Hero and Mage tracks at the Musutafu-Magnolia Joint Academy, doubling paperwork and politics. He expects solitude. He doesn’t expect to see his name next to the senior with the requip-armor. Progress comes slowly. Eleven-pound ceilings become fifteen, then fifty, and finally two hundred meters of buried ore—each breakthrough raising both the risks and the rewards. After that, there are two hundred years of forgotten history, secrets that could challenge Soren’s future. Then they face something neither of them knows how to handle, with failure threatening not just their tracks, but their place at the academy itself. People can debate heroic doctrine or refer to magical tradition, but what his Quirk is turning into, and what they are becoming together, is something new they must figure out, or risk losing everything they’ve worked for. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Of Iron and Magnolia — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
