Kalin Taylor is on the path to success. He's just won a scholarship to the prestigious Sanderson College of Arts and Science to study medicine.

Cue membership of the college frat house, cue popularity and an improved lifestyle, right?

Now I am an Ascendant, the leader of a battle spear, and the freehold's first pilot. I am also all but immortal.
