About this story
Twelve-year-old Dalliance Rather is expected to become a brutal laborer like his father. Instead, aided by a fairy godmother, he’s secretly a [Scamp] with a plan to win his way into the elite King's Collegiate. He’s going to build the perfect [Wizard].
Reality disagrees.
Expect a literary pitch-dark Victorian-era coming-of-age homage to Mark Twain in a LitRPG setting, in which power accumulates gradually and extracts a price, but found family finds a path forward.
Now starting Volume 3!
