Brownie Kickfinger believed that he was meant for nothing. He certainly felt like nothing. His father was a criminal, most of his family wanted nothing to do with him, and his grandfather, the one man he thought he could look up to, had disappeared. Brownie left home and ended up in the land of Devansh, a land of beauty and mystique, of magic and wonder, of strife and challenge, searching either for purpose or a place to disappear.

On his journey, he encountered Lata, a curious woman in the woods, who showed him that he is, in fact, very special: he's a wizard, a member of an ancient cult who have pledged themselves to the protection and enlightenment of Devansh. As Brownie struggles to learn all he can of his power and bloodline, he is thrust into a brewing war led by a macabre and barbarous dark wizard and his zealot army.
