This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Eleven-year-old Hans Drost has one job: never reveal his magic.
In an empire ruled by the Great Clown, every spell is regulated, every gifted child is watched, and the Bureau of Magical Control is always one magical sneeze away. But when Hans accidentally unleashes Apeiron—the forbidden power that unites all four elements—hiding is no longer an option.
Hunted by the Bureau and accompanied by stubborn allies, unreliable magic, and more enchanted vegetables than anyone should face, Hans is pulled into a resistance against an absurd regime preparing for an even more absurd war.
To survive, he must learn that real power is not about creating the biggest explosion. Sometimes it is knowing which rules to break, whom to trust—and when to put the fire out.
