On the contrary, the Swallow is a place not many can endure. It’s below bottom of the barrel homes welcomed beggars and homed squatters.

Arthur, a young magician, is struggling with crippling social anxiety. The issue has reached a point where he likely won't graduate from University.

How would a society built around magic actually exist and is power and magic actually as great as other stories make it out to be?
