Earth and its magic perished, witchkind was hunted and annihilated, and Kai is fed up taking the blame.

He was just a baby the day a coven of blood witches ripped a hole in the universe and the demons fell screaming from the sky. 14-year-old Kai Koson had nothing to do with the apocalypse, thank you very much. ![]() ![]() ![]() The simply told story features an appealing underdog with enough skill to catch the ball and enough humility to give his coach some credit.
