With a knife in his gut, Rowan figured he was destined to become just another corpse littering the slums of Taureen.

So, he was fairly surprised to wake up in the back of a moving wagon with a couple of adventurers. Turns out that Rowan had been given something most street rats can only dream of. A second chance.

With only a sword, a spellbook, and enough gold for tuition, he is thrust into a school for aspiring adventurers. A world full of haughty nobles, scions of wealthy families, and various other types of people he used to steal from.

Here, Rowan must vie for his place among students who have been diving in their family-owned dungeons for years, their bodies filled with dense mana instead of tavern scraps and the occasional pilfered apple pie. He will have to fight, study, and most of all – keep his true past a secret.

Because Faebrook Academy is his second chance. His last chance.
