# The Arcane Fraud

> First-tier mage Soren can only cast illusions, yet he fools a dark dragon while protecting a rooftop—and the world mistakes him for the reincarnated God of Magic. Under the name Kai Merlin, he's drawn into royal betrothals, family power struggles, and continental crises. With Princess Linda and dragon Noktara, he guards the truth with lies.
